Abstract
Growing of flowers and gardening have been practiced in India
for many centuries. Use of flowers which has been largely limited to
offering in temple is becoming an integral part of social, cultural and
religious activities. Among different flowers, rose has a unique place
and however, growing flowers on commercial base is a recent trade,
rose growing has become one of the most profitable agro-based
industries. Today, the cultivation of rose is recognized as a lucrative
profession with potential of higher returns per unit area than the most
of field and even some horticulture crops.
However, for realization of potential of this crop, farmers should
adopt scientific rose cultivation, for which it is of prime importance
that they should first inculcate positive attitude towards rose
cultivation. This fact led the researcher to make investigation in the
direction of developing the scale and measuring the attitude of
farmers towards rose cultivation. Further, rose cultivators might be
facing many constraints because of which they could not exploit fully
the potential of this crop. This also necessitates that the constraints
faced by farmers in adopting rose cultivation should also be studied.
