abstract = "Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. is a well-known traditional, ornamental, and aesthetic plant in India and China due to its wide range of coloured cultivars, a long history of cultivation and worship. There is a huge scope of hibiscus breeding in West Bengal because it is no longer used only as an offering to Hindu goddess Kali/Durga, Lord Vinayaka, etc. The prime aim of this study is to develop new cultivars of Hibiscus through selection, hybridisation and to improve the overall aspects of the ideal plant. A new significant cultivar H. rosa-sinensis ‘A. A. Mao’ has been developed from the cross breeding of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. ‘Bengal sunrise’ (Female pod parent) and Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L. ‘Valentine's Day’ (Male pollen parent). Detailed breeding process and characterisation of the new cultivar is discussed and photographs are provided to facilitate to identification.",
