The rules for naming cultivated plants are found in the International
Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.  I think the most recent
edition is 1995.

This is a very complicated and not uncontroversial document of 173
pages, but anyone who wants to name plants must read it.

One frequently overlooked rule is that a plant to be named must have
been propagated vegetatively through at least one generation, and the
offspring must be the same as the parent.
