The Influence of Plant Growth Regulator and Rootstocks on Budding in Greenhouse Rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cv. First Red

Temperature and Postharvest Performance of Rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and Gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) Flowers

The respiration of cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) increased exponentially with increasing respiration, with a Q10 value between 0 and 10°C of 3 for both flowers. The vase life of the flowers was negatively affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures whereas dry storage for 5 days at 0°C resulted in a vase li...

The effect of medium and plant growth regulators on micropropagation of Dog rose (Rosa canina L.)

Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as Rosa hybrid and Rosa floribunda. In vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and d...

Shading Impact on Qualitative Characteristics and Chlorophyll Content of Cut Rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Avalanche)

Light intensity is considered a limiting factor in greenhouse rose production. The main aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of shading treatments (0, 25, 50, and 65% shading) on quality and chlorophyll content of cut rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Avalanche), under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was planned in randomized completely block design with four replications. All shoots we...

The Biology and Ecology of Rosa x hybrida (Rose)

Physiological Characteristics of Two Rose Cultivars (Rosa hybrida L.) under Different Levels of Shading in Greenhouse Conditions

In many parts of Iran high light intensities during summer can induce stress in cut flower production under open field and greenhouse conditions. Despite roses prefer sunny places for optimum growth, but in practice some levels of rough shading is applied in greenhouse production to improve the quality of cut flowers. So, it is useful to find the light intensities under which different rose cul...
