| Summary: | Efficacy of preservative solutions on vase life of garden roses has not been
researched before. Vast variability and morphological characteristics of
this group of roses are very important, making them suitable for their use
in bouquets, arrangements and vases. This research was carried out to
examine the influence of five preservative solutions on vase life of garden
rose cut flowers. The aim of research was to determine best preservative
solution for prolonging of vase life of garden rose cut flower. The
experiment included 8 rose cultivars cultivated for garden use. Each
treatment consisted of 10 cut garden roses. The cut garden rose flowers with
vase solution containing Al2(SO4)3+ethanol+sucrose register longer vase life
and higher values in water uptake. Vase life of flowers held in tap water
(control) was lowest (4.38 days). This research backs the assumption that
with the use of preservative solutions, garden rose also can be used as a
cut flower.
