Abstract

Experiments were conducted to evaluate quality and vase life of cut rose ‘Rote Rose’ cultivated either in soil or hydroponically in rockwool. Rose stems were put in four different preservative solutions, 0.5% chrysal RVB, BS (2% sucrose + 200 mg. L$^{-1}$ 8HQS + 0.3% Chrysal RVB), Sonk1 (BS + 0.1 mM ethionine), and double distilled $H_2O$. Flower stems were displayed at $20\pm1^{\circ}C$, RH 60%, and light intensity of $8.1\mu$mol.$m^{-2}$ .$s^{-1}$ provided by fluorescent lamps for 16 hㆍ$d^{-1}$ Fresh weight and flower diameter during vase life were affected by cultivation method and were greater in hydroponically-grown roses than in soil-grown roses. Among preservative solutions, BS and Sonkl were superior to Chrysal RVB in terms of extending vase life. Vase life of cut rose in Chrysal RVB, BS, and Sonkl over the control was prolonged by about one day.
