Planting Season for Rose Cultivation  in Greenhouse:- Ideal planting season for rose in greenhouse farming is Oct to Dec month.

Planting Density for Rose Cultivation in Greenhouse :- The Rose planting should be done in 2-row system in greenhouse. The optimum planting density should be 7  to 14 plants/sq.m (50 to 60 thousand bushes per 1 hectare area).

Temperature requirement for Rose Cultivation in Greenhouse:- Generally, the greenhouse temperature should be maintained @ 20°C-21°C on cloudy days  and 24°C-28°C on sunny days for high yield and best quality. However, the optimum temperature range is 15°C to 27°C for rose cultivation in greenhouse.

Fertilizer Requirement for Rose Cultivation in Greenhouse:- Liquid fertilizers containing 200 to 225 ppm of nitrogen and 150 to 160 ppm of potassium should be applied. Magnesium and iron should be applied with need base. This gives good yield on wide range of soils. For more number of basal sprouts, bind the unproductive rose plant shoots.

Harvesting  for  Rose Cultivation in Greenhouse:- Red and pink varieties can be harvested when first two petals of flowers start to unfold & calyx is rflexed below the horizontal lane. Yellow type rose should be harvested slightly earlier and white rose types slightly later than red and pink varieties.

After cutting, the stem ends should be dipped in 200 to 500 ppm aluminium sulphate or citric acid and placed in cold storage @ 10°C till grading. Plant stem ends should be re-cut, bunched in 20’s  and placed in preservative solution of sucrose up to 2 percent.

Yield  for Rose Cultivation in Greenhouse:- Any yield depends on the greenhouse practices and variety. In rose flower cultivation, an average yield of 225-350 stems/sq.m can be obtained. To increase the flower yield, spray BAP 50 to 100 ppm before flowering. Another method of increasing rose flower yield is by burning of saw-dust during winter months in the morning time (6 to 10 am) . This will greatly increase flower yield as well as quality.
