Two districts namely, Sonepat and Hisar were selected for the study. There were 124 respondents in 15 villages. The study revealed that there was significant association observed in the knowledge level and education as the Pearson chi square coefficient χ2 =179.07 with degree of freedom of 119, at a significance of 0.0003. Education has the only the significant association with the adoption levels. The rose cultivation resulted into a gross returns of Rs. 3,07,857.10/- per ha in Hisar while the gross returns were 3,03,327.9/- per ha.
