ABDUL MATEEN KHATTAK, MUHAMMAD MUNIR AND JALAL-UD-DIN BALOCH

Abstract: Of the 10 exotic rose cultivars evaluated for their performance and adaptability in the D.l. Khan, Magic Carrousel, Paradise, Pink Delight, Yankee Doodle, and Love were found most promising as compared to Green Sleeves, Oregold, Peer Gynt, Razzle Dazzle and Revenue. Magic Carrousel was dwarf, dense with small sized fragrant flowers and bore maximum flowers per plant per month. Paradise was tallest and produced large sized flowers without fragrance. Pink Delight had maximum flower vase life (8 days) and persistence, in both spring and summer months, with slight fragrance. During spring, 91 petals per flower were counted in Yankee Doodle, while Love produced 47 petals per flower in Summer. Both cultivars were slightly fragrant.
