Abstract

An investigation on performance of Floribunda Rose cultivars North Eastern Transitional Zone of Karnataka. The cultivars viz., Aishwarya Cherishma, Five Star, Kelly, Mirabel, Orange Babe, Palm D More, Ruby Gon, Ruby Star, Vanish and Yellow Babe were taken for study. The cultivar Cherishma was recorded maximum 100 flower weight of 258.64 followed by Palm D More (248.67 g) and Five Star (247.25 g) which were statistically on par with each other in the pooled mean. While cultivar Yellow Babe (182.77 g) recorded lower 100 flower weight. Among the cultivars evaluated, the cv. Cherishma recorded maximum flower yield per hectare (4.01tonne) and this found to be on par with cv. Five Star with the yield of 3.61 tonnes per hectare. While minimum yield per hectare was recorded in cv. Vanish (2.26 tonnes per hectare). Cherishma realized maximum gross returns (Rs. 2224653) and net returns (Rs. 1356008), and maximum benefit to cost ratio (B: C) of 2.56. The information regarding the performance of rose genotypes under open field condition in North Eastern Transitional Zone of Karnataka is meager. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to collect the informations regarding these aspects which will be useful for rose breeders to select the desirable genotypes and for rose growing farmers to economize their production.

Conclusion

Thus, from the present study considering the better performance in terms of flower colour, shape, yield and economics of floribunda rose, cultivars Cherishma, Mirabel and Five Star were found superior over the rest of the cultivars, was suitable for open cultivation under North Eastern Transitional Zone of Karnataka.
