Developed at the All Union Essential Oil Crops Institute, Raduga was obtained by individual selection from a cross between Vesna (Rosa damascena X Rosa gallica subsp. eryosyla var. austriaca) and Krymskaya Krasnaya (R. gallica). In 1979-81, its average flower yield, when grown on its own roots, was 3.98 t/ha and, when grown on rootstock, 4.41 t/ha. These yields were 2.3 and 2.17 t/ha greater, respectively, than in the standard, Michurinka.
