ABSTRACT
At present roses are the fastest growing segment of the market. Now a days there is a demand for small sized, attractive rose flowers which are used as a loose flowers for making garlands, worshipping etc, many varieties are existing in the market, but however their performance is not assessed. So a field experiment was carried out in KRCCH, Arabhavi, during 2015-2016. The experiment was conducted with thirteen rose varieties which produce small sized flowers, among the thirteen varieties studied, the results showed a highly significant variation for various growth, flower and yield parameters among the varieties. The Palm-de-Mour produced maximum plant height (50.00 cm), stem girth (2.23 cm), flower weight (1.70 g), average flower yield per plant per month (37.66 g), flower yield per hectare (4.5 t/ha). The Charisma produced maximum number of branches (14.99), plant spread East-West (37.49 cm), plant spread North-South (37..00 cm) and Charisma took minimum number of days for initiation of flower bud to bloom (3.53 days) and days to 50% flowering (52.22 days). The variety Suntan recorded minimum of all these character except stem girth and flower weight. Palm-de-Mour can therefore, be recommended for commercial cultivation for loose flower production in open field condition.
