Abstract:

Production of flower and ornamental plants, like numerous other agricultural products, has become increasingly concentrated under the southern United States, with fewer and larger producers accounting for an increasingly larger share of the marketplace. A total of twelve genotypes including Tropicana, Peace, Iceberg, Cinco De Mayo, Julia Child, Living Easy, Europena, Strike It Rich, Let Freedom Ring, Double Delight, Plamengarten Frankfurt and Wild Blue Yonder were incorporated in this project. The rose bushes grew normally and there were no visual symptoms of major nutrient deficiencies. Weeds were handpicked. Additional weed emergence control was obtained from the addition of a 3-4 inches layer of wood chip mulch. As of early April 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons, the winter weather was classified as below normal temperatures and below normal precipitation. More than 95% plants survived in the field conditions. The physical, physiological and postharvest behaviors of the genotypes studied were discussed.
