The cross was made in 2000 and ‘Morning Shine’ was finally selected in 2006 after investigating characteristics for three years from 2003 to 2006. ‘Morning Shine’, a light yellow spray cultivar grows vigorously and has high productivity. The major characteristics of this cultivar are 159.7 stems/m 2 /year in yield, 74.3 cm in length of cut flower, 7.2 cm in flower diameter, 35.6 in petal number, and 13.0 days in vase life.
