    (2016) GULERIA, KRITIKA; CHAUDHARY, S.V.S.
    ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled, “Studies on the effect of pruning dates on growth and flowering of Rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cv. ‘Super Star’ ” was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2014–2015. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD). The plants were pruned at different dates at one month intervals wef. 21st October, 2014 up to 20th February, 2015. Among different pruning dates, plants pruned on 20th December, 2014 resulted superior in growth and flowering parameters i.e. numbers of shoots (12.60), numbers of leaves (14.02), numbers of cut stems (11.30), stem length (62.16 cm), diameter of cut stem (10.48 mm), longer vase life (10.83 days), maximum weight of cut stem (41.33 g), numbers of flower buds (13.10), length of flower bud (50.35 mm), diameter of flower bud (40.25 mm), diameter of flower (10.41 cm) and flower yield (13.23). However, plant height (90.42 cm) and petals per flower (47.78) resulted maximum in October and November pruning respectively. The earliest flower bud initiation (36.17days) and maximum pedicel length (9.20 cm) was seen in plants pruned on 20th February, 2015 (T5). The flower regulation in rose for longer period obtained in 20th December pruning. Among different flowering flushes, flush-I resulted better in all vegetative and flowering parameters as compared to flush-II & III. Hence, it can be concluded that pruning performed on 20th December, 2014 is best for all growth and flowering parameters except few, under mid hill zone of Himachal Pradesh.
