‘KORcaseipp’ is a new and distinct variety of Rosa hybrida which is characterized by the combination of a climbing growth habit, an abundance of large and very double-type flowers which are pastel apricot in color and also attractive foliage with very good disease resistance. The new variety propagates successfully by grafting and by stem cuttings and has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Provided herein are rose plants such as cut roses, garden roses and pot roses having at least two genes providing resistance to a pathogen causing powdery mildew. Specifically, provided herein are rose plants resistant to the powdery mildew causing pathogen Podosphaera pannosa also known as Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosae. Also provided herein are methods for selecting the present powdery mildew rose plants. The present rose plants are characterized by including in their nuclear genome at least one nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID No. 1 and at least one nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID No. 2 wherein the combined presence of SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2 provides powdery mildew resistance.

Provided is: a transgenic plant that has a modified flower color; a self- or cross-fertilized descendant of the transgenic plant; or a propagule, a portion of a plant body, tissue, or cells from the transgenic plant or the self- or cross-fertilized descendant of the transgenic plant. The present invention causes both anthocyanin delphinidin and a flavone C-glycoside that is methylated at the hydroxyl group at the 7 position to be present in the cells of a plant.

The present invention relates to a meristematic cell line selected from tissue, preferably callus tissue, of a plant belonging to the genus Rosa. The invention also relates to a derivative of the cell line, i.e. a phytocomplex or an extract of the cell line. The meristematic cell line is characterized by a high polysaccharide content. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the cosmetic, nutraceutical and medical use of the selected meristematic cell line or of a derivative thereof.
