Abstract
In the past 20 years the use of molecular markers has gradually expanded from the field of scientific genetic analysis towards the implementation in commercial breeding programs.
Starting from a historical perspective, the benefits and drawbacks of the use of molecular markers for the breeding of ornamentals are brought forward.
Important questions to be handled before starting a molecular breeding effort are addressed.
Guidelines are being formulated to come to a structured introduction of molecular markers for a specific breeding objective.
Examples from rose breeding are used to illustrate the feasibility of molecular breeding approaches.
