Peonies - exceptionally beautiful ornamental plants known since ancient times. Thanks to their rich decorative qualities, they are widely and variously used in landscaping gardens, parks, boulevards, factory areas and residential areas. Abroad, for a long time, people are engaged in breeding peonies. Of all European countries, France was the first to cultivate peonies. Later, peonies were grown in England, Holland, USA. In Russia, the breeding work with peonies is carried out in the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, Main Botanical Garden of Tsitsin RAS, the Institute of Horticulture for Siberia of Lisavenko et al. It should nevertheless be noted that there are very few domestic varieties of peony, and almost none is cultivated on a large scale. All of this suggests that, despite the difficulties of breeding work with peonies (duration of their growth and reproduction - 12-15 years old), this work is extremely interesting and necessary for ornamental horticulture regions of Russia. In the Botanical Garden of the city of Ufa, breeding research to develop new varieties of peony has been performed for more than 60 years. The initiator of this trend was the candidate of agricultural sciences Kravchenko O.A. The purpose was the creation of domestic varieties better adapted to local conditions, with large double flowers of the original form and color [1]. With the use of open pollination and artificial hybridization, it was created a large fund of hybrids (more than 800 seedlings). In 1999, the peony breeding work has been continued by Tukhvatullina L.A., Mironova L.N., and since 2003, by Reut A.A. As a result, the fund of hybrid seedlings has been expanded for 1500 samples. Of them, are currently highlighted about fifty hybrids, the most interesting from decorative point of view with large and medium-sized flowers of rose-like, crown-like, spherical, anemone-like and Japanese forms, red, pink, cream and white color, and intermediary colors. Seventeen candidates for varieties were submitted to state testing. In 2008, they were included in the State register of breeding achievements permitted for utilization. They received certificates of authorship and patents [2, 3]. The following are characteristics of some hybrid varieties of peony bred in the Botanical Garden-Institute, Ufa Scientific center. Aurora.
