The effect of continuous injection of exogenous sucrose on single flower postproduction longevity of attached flowers of potted ‘Meijikatar’ miniature roses was studied. At bud showing color, with sepals starting to unfold, plants were moved to interior conditions and started being continuously injected with a solution of 3% sucrose or distilled water. Carbohydrate levels, flower respiration and single flower ...
Research was conducted to investigate the relationship between flower respiration and flower longevity as well as to assess the possibility of using miniature rose (Rosa hybrida L.) flower respiration as an indicator of potential flower longevity. Using several miniature rose cultivars as a source of variation, four experiments were conducted throughout the year to study flower respiration and flower longevity ...
The effect of two temperature regimes (29 °C day/24 °C night and 24 °C day/18 °C night) and of a 4-hour night interruption, during production, was studied on postproduction flower longevity and bud drop of ‘Meirutral’ and ‘Meidanclar’ potted, miniature roses (Rosa L. sp.). High production temperatures increased postproduction flower longevity and decreased postproduction bud drop. In ‘Meidanclar’, the high prod...
