In the present study, combinations of sugar (sucrose), germicides like 8-Hydroxy Quinoline Citrate (8-HQC) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) as pulsing treatments on post harvest physiology of cut rose cv. First Red was studied. In this investigation the treatment P1 (200 ppm 8-HQC + 10 % sucrose) exhibited superior performance for relative water content (82.32 %) and water uptake (6.00 g stalk-1) throughout the vase life period. Control recorded the highest PLW of 25.34 %, transpirational loss of water of 8.45 g stalk-1 and loss of membrane integrity of 53.84 %, while the treatment P1 (200 ppm 8- HQC + 10 % sucrose) recorded lowest values for the same parameters. Peroxidase activity was maximum in the control (0.057 units per gram of fresh weight) which was lowest in the treatment P1 (200 ppm 8- HQC + 10 % sucrose). As a result, longest vase life of 4.1 days were recorded in P1 (200 ppm 8- HQC + 10 % sucrose) where as control recorded the shortest vase life of 2.6 days. Similarly the treatment in P1 (200 ppm 8- HQC + 10 % sucrose) recorded the superior values for stem strength and appearance throughout the study.
