Here, we report the haplotype-resolved chromosome-scale genome assembly of the tetraploid R. hybrida ‘Samantha®’ (‘JACmantha’) and a genome variation map of 233 Rosa accessions involving various wild species, and old and modern cultivars. Homologous chromosomes of ‘Samantha®’ exhibit frequent homoeologous exchanges. Population genomic and genomic composition analyses reveal the contributions of wild Rosa species to modern roses and highlight that R. odorata and its derived cultivars are important contributors to modern roses, much like R. chinensis ‘Old Blush’. Furthermore, selective sweeps during modern rose breeding associated with major agronomic traits, including continuous and recurrent flowering, double flower, flower senescence, and disease resistance, are identified. This study provides insights into the genetic basis of modern rose origin and breeding history and offers unprecedented genomic resources for rose improvement.
