The maximum plant height was recorded in cultivar Tocovar-6 (57.93 cm). In cultivar Fortune recorded maximum plant spread (31.86 cm), number of flowers per stem/cut flower (60.34) and flower size (5.73 cm). The maximum number of branches, leaves per plant and average weight was noticed maximum in cultivar Charlia. Early first flowering was observed in the cultivar Paladov Sunny and fifty per cent of flowering in cultivar Paladov Dark. Longest duration of flowering (days) was found in cultivar Celtic. The cultivar Cologne showed maximum fresh weight of flowers. The maximum water absorption, transpiration loss and longest vase life of flower and stem was found in cultivar White Double. Plant height was highly correlated with average weight of flower and vase life of flower and stem. The number of flowers per stem per cut flower was highly correlated with vase life of flower and stem.ennullThesis
