SCENTED ROSE
 Rose – Rosa spp
 Chromosome Number n =7
 Family – Rosaceae
 National flower of USA, England, Bulgaria and UK
 Queen of flowers
 Predominantly grown in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh and Punjab
 Rose oil production is done in Bulgaria, Turkey, France and Morocco
 Symbol of love, adoration, innocence
 Miniature roses (or) button roses are mostly grown for loose flowers,
indoor display and pot culture
 Major districts for loose flower production: Krishnagiri, Dindigul and
Madurai
Loose flower roses are primarily produced for worship, garland and veni making
Flowers can be dried and preserved and used in many dry flower arrangements
Some value added products like rose vinegar, rose jam, rose wine, rose jelly, rose
water and gulkand can be also prepared from rose flowers.
Damask rose and Edouard rose are good source for the extraction of rose water,
and rose oil (Otto of rose).
Rose oil is commercially used for the preparation of cosmetics, perfumes and
flavors which are exported.
Rosa species contains about 120 species and more than 30,000
cultivars (Rehder, 1947)

Varieties for Loose flower Production
Two varieties viz., Edouard rose and Andhra Red rose are cultivated for loose flower
production.
Edouard rose
It also known as Paneer rose because of its pleasant fragrance,
It bears flowers in clusteres
Pinky rose in colour
Prone to petal shedding
Comes up even is slightly saline and
alkaline soils
Used for floral concrete extraction
Andhra Red
Andhra Red
It also known as common red rose
Bears attractive red flowers on short stalks
Requires good quality water for commercial cultivation
Comparatively less prone to petal shedding
Soil and climate
Soil
Although any soil is good for rose cultivation provided it has proper
drainage, the ideal soil should be medium loam having sufficient organic
matter, with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5
Climate
• Day temperature of 26˚C
• Night temperature of 15˚C
Roses grow well in tropical regions of India at lower attitudes
In subtropical climates, roses can be obtained from November to April
Propagation
Roses can be propagated both by seeds and by vegetative methods like- Cuttings
Seed propagation
Treatment of flowers, 10 days after pollination, with 3 drops of 250 ppm
solution of GA3 improved fruit set and the potential seed yield
Stratify the seeds at 350 to 400 F (1.6 - 4.40 C) after harvest.
Stratification for six weeks is sufficient for R. multiflora, R. rugosa, and R.
hugonis require 4 to 6 months, and R. blanda, 10 months for better germination
ABA was much higher in the achenes that inhibit germination
ROSE HIPS
• The rose hip is the fruit of
the rose plant
• Bright red to orange in color and
Oblong
• Rose hips are high in vitamin
C (150 mg/ 100 g) content
• Rose hips are used
for jam, jelly, wine and
marmalade.
ROSE SEEDS
• Rose seeds are called as Achne
• Rose seeds are colleted from rose hips
• The cleaned rose seeds were placed on a
moist paper towel and sprinkled with
Captan.
• The paper towel was then folded and
placed inside a plastic zip-lock bag and
sealed
• The baggie full of seeds was stored in the
refrigerator
• At the end of February, the seeds were
taken out and planted into pots
• Perlite is used as growing medium
Vegetative propagation
Cutting
• Commercially, Andhra Red and Edouard Roses are multiplied through rooted
cuttings
• Cuttings of pencil thickness having 5 to 7 nodes measuring around 15 cm in
length are planted in June, July months in mist chamber
• The rooting can be improved by dipping the cuttings in growth regulators like
IAA or IBA at 500 ppm
• R. multiflora, R. borboniana and R. moschata propagated by cutting
Root-cuttings
• Rose plants raised from root-cuttings were more resistant to frost than those
from stem cuttings
• Rose species like R. blanda, R. nitida and R. virginiana can be propagated by
root-cutting
Pit size : 45cm3
Spacing
Andra Red and Edouard Roses : 2m x 1m
Time of Planting
Tamil Nadu : June - July and November-December
Mild tropical climate : any time of the year
Pune, Nasik, Bangalore, Mysore, Belgaum and Dharwar: late May and June and
September to December.
Temperate zones : October to February.
Plains of eastern India: October to February,
South India: October to December
West Bengal, Bihar and Orissa: September to December
Northern Indian plains : middle of October, extended up to February.
NUTRITION
FYM - 20 kg/plant
NPK - 6:12:12g/plant
Application in 2 splits :
(1) After pruning in Oct
(2) July
MICRONUTRIENTS:
Foliar application of 0.2% micronutrient mixture containing 20 g MnSO4 + 15
g MgSO4 + 10 g FeSO4 + 5 g B
BIOFERTILIZERS:
Soil application of 2 kg each of Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria per ha
Mixed with 10kg of FYM and applied in pits
Growth regulators
BA: 100 ppm reduced leaf yellowing
GA3: 250 ppm increases flower yield
CCC 3% : decrease shoot growth, stimulated branching, induced early flowering
and decreased flower size
Paclobutrazol: 150 ppm resulted in plants with greener leaves and more mildew
resistance
Irrigation management in scented rose
Water requirement of roses depend upon soil type and
seasons.
During winter, irrigation is done at about 7-10 days interval
whereas during summer it should be done at an interval of
5-6 days.
Training
Nip off the terminals after establishment during Oct-Nov to promote
development of lateral branches.
Allow 4-5 strong laterals to grow from the base so as to establish a
better spread of the plant
Pruning
Best time of pruning is the period when the activity of rose plant is least
and the plant is dormant to near dormant stage.
Pruning time will depend on climatic conditions of the particular
region.
Pruning is done by cutting back the vigorous past season shoots to half
the length.
All the weak, diseased, criss-crossing and unproductive shoots are
removed.
Under Tamil Nadu conditions , in the plains, mostly pruning is carried out
during Oct-Nov
Cut ends should be protected with a fungicidal paste of Bordeaux or Copper
oxychloride + Carbaryl 50 WP.
Rejuvenation
After 5-6 years the plants are to be rejuvenated.
Cut back all the main branches at 15-20 cm from the base.
Apply Bordeaux paste over cut ends to prevent diseases.
Harvesting
Flowering starts from 1st year onwards. Economic yield can be
obtained from 2nd year.
Flowers for loose flower trade are harvested when the
flower buds are in half open stage and harvesting should be done during
the morning hours.
Yield: 6-10 t/ha
cup shape stage
High temperature during harvest reduces oil content of flower (Baydar and
Baydar ,2005) due to removal of essential oil from the trichomes of the petals
(Weiss,1997).
One kg of rose oil can be obtained from about 3000 kg of rose petals
(Baser,1992), so oil content is only about 0.03%.
Price of essential oil : 1.5 lakh per kg
Handling
The harvested flowers are packed in bamboo baskets
lined with wet paper or wet cloth; and water is sprinkled
over them to keep them a fresh till it reaches the market.
The flowers are immediately sent to the market for disposal.
Value addition in Roses
Rose oil is extracted by steam distillation mainly from R. damascena. R.
bourboniana & R. centifolia
The oil yield is 1 kg from 3000-4000 kg of flowers by stem distillation.
Gulkand is a preparation made by pounding rose petals with white sugar in
equal proportions.
Pankhauri is nothing but dried rose petals occasionally used for preparation
of sweetened cold drinks
Bulgarian rose oil: best rose oil in the world
Plant protection
Pest and disease management in scented
rose
The most common diseases that affect the scented rose are
Black spot (Diplocarpon rosae wolf),
Rust (Phragmidium mucronatum pers.),
Mildew (Sphaerotheca pannosa wallr.) and
Botrytis blight (Botrytis cinerea pers.: Fr.)
The important bacterial disease on rose is bacterial crown gall, caused
by Agrobacterium tumefaciens
The main fungal diseases can be controlled by regular application of 1
% Bordeaux mixture or 0.2 % mancozeb.
The fungicides viz., Baikor and Impact are reported to be most effective
against rust and black spot diseases
Powdery Mildew : Sphaerotheca pannosa
Powdery Mildew
Spray Carbendazim 1 g/lit or Wettable sulphur at 2 g/lit.
Downy mildew - Peronospora sparsa
SYMPTOMS: This fungus is characterized by purplish to black areas on leaves,
stems, and peduncles.
This is followed by yellowing of the leaflets and complete defoliation of the
plant.
Control: Mancozeb (Fore) and chlorothalonil (Daconil & FungiGard) – 1 ml/l
CONTROL: Spray Carbendazim 1 g/lit twice at fortnightly intervals or
Dithane M-45 1ml/l
Black spot (Diplocarpon rosae)
Dieback (Botryodiplodia theobromae)
The disease appears in maximum severity following pruning of canes
after monsoon.
Spread faster at 30-320C, High humidity
CONTROL: Bavistin or benomyl and chlorothalonil 0.1% spray
CANKER
Canker begin as small yellow to red spots in the bark and gradually expand. The
centers of the cankers become light brown and the margin darker brown
: Cool moist weather conditions. Free moisture may be needed
Control:
This fungus will be controlled by
Spraying of Carbendazim 1 g/lit
Bacterial Crown Gall - Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Gall formations on the crown and roots
Rough-surfaced galls occur at near the soil line, at graft or bud union, or on
roots and stems.
The galls may be hard or soft and spongy.
They can be large and usually are greenish or dark.
Exhibit yellowish foliage and may eventually die.
CONDITIONS: Bacterial pathogen enters plant through wounds, either natural or caused
by pruning, grafting, or mechanical injury by tools. The Bacteria persistent in soil
for long time and easily moved by moving soil or transplanting
Oil bearing roses are attacked by a number of insects, some of the most important are
Aphids (Macrosiphum rosae L.),
Cane borer (Agrilus cuprescens men.),
Rose scale insect (Rodoccocus bulgariensis wunn.), and
Red spider mite (Tetranychus telarius)
(Joy et al., 2001; Mann, 2002 Rusanov et al., 2009).
Insects that particularly attack the flowers are chafer beetles, thrips, midges, and
sawflies (Weiss, 1997).
Aphids
Overuse of fertilizer may favor the buildup of aphid populations.
Control:
Spray methyl demeton 25 EC 2 ml/lit
Spray Neem oil 3 % or phosalone 35 EC 2 ml/lit.
Aphids
Beetles
Beetle species feed on roses but the Japanese beetle is the key pest.
It prefers cultivars with light colored, fragrant blooms.
The beetles eat entire flower petals and skeletonize leaves, disturbing roses during July
and August.
Control:
Spray Endosulfan 35 EC 2 ml/lit.
Scale
Control: Rub off the scales with cotton soaked in kerosene or diesel.
Cut and burn the affected branches.
Spray malathion 50 EC 2 ml/lit at the time of pruning and again during March -
April or Apply carbofuran 3G 5 g/plant
Miniature / Button Roses
• Popularly known as ‘Baby roses’ with small leaves & flowers
• They are hardy and good for pot culture
• Multiplied by cuttings as well as budding on root stocks
• Eg: Baby gold star (1940), Baby Masquerade (1956), Cindrella (1952), peon
(1936), etc
• Despite their small size, miniature roses are extremely hardy
• In fact they are more winter hardy than most tea roses
• Miniatures also tend to be profuse repeat bloomers
