ABSTRACT: An experiment was
undertaken to study the effects of two grafting times (1st of June and end of
September) as well as kind of rootstock on growth and rooting of rose stentlings.
Two Rosa species i.e. R. canina and R. manetti were
selected as rootstock and three different hybrid tea rose cultivars namely Avalanch,
Peach Avalanch and Dolcevita were grafted on them as scion through omega and
splice techniques. The growth parameters were collected 57 days after grafting.
The highest average of rooting, healing percentage, numbers of root, shoot and
leaves were seen in September grafted plants. In overall Rosa canina was
the best rootstock for Avalanch cultivar. Other observations did not lead to
any prominent result as it varied with time of grafting, scion and rootstock
cultivars.
