      <abstract><![CDATA[<p>Hibiscus rosa sinensis has a good response from people due to its medicinal and aesthetic<br />
values. Since it is a bisexual and complete flower, it still needs deep observation of flowering<br />
stages to identify the best stage for breeding purposes and genetic improvement of the crop.<br />
This experiment was carried out by three male and female parents in BCKV, Mohanpur, West<br />
Bengal. Flowers from selected varieties were plucked at five different stages in the morning<br />
hours, and each part of the flower was carefully separated for further observation. The report<br />
of this research reveals that the Versicolor Pin Wheel variety shows good pollen parent<br />
features in each stage, especially in the after-senescence stage (stamen length: 1.385cm,<br />
anther amount: 108.13 cm, and pollen viability: 95.11%), while in the Brilliant variety it was<br />
less. Regarding seed parent, the variety that has less style and style arm length (Agni: 7.43cm<br />
and 3.93mm), more ovary length and diameter (Cinnamon Girl: 11.817 mm and Double<br />
Peach: 8.7 mm), a higher percentage of ovule development and stigma diameter (Double<br />
Peach: 91.33% and 3.157 mm), and more stigma receptivity (Cinnamon Girl: +++++) at the<br />
end of the flower is considered a suitable one. From this report, breeders can select a variety<br />
at the perfect stage of flowering for their breeding program.</p>
