Productivity of rose cultivars produced by
grafting onto different rootstocks or by cutting.
The productivity of rose from cultivars Tineke and
Versília, grafted on different rootstocks or originated
from cutting was compared. The study was conducted
in Andradas, Minas Gerais State, from March 2001
to February 2002. The experimental design used was
a completely randomized, including ten treatments: Rosa multiflora ‘Paulista’, R. multiflora ‘Japones’, R.
multiflora ‘Iowa’, R. multiflora ‘Kopman´s’, R. indica
x multiflora, R. indica ‘Mayor’, R. sp. ‘Natual Brier’,
R. manetti, R. canina ‘Inermis’, and cutting. Four
replications per treatment were used and each parcel
comprised five plants. The number of flower stems
harvested per plant was recorded monthly. Based on the
productivity of Andradas area (MG), is recommended,
as rootstocks for ‘Tineke’, R. manetti, followed by
R. multiflora ‘Japones’, R. multiflora ‘Iowa’ and R.
multiflora ‘Kopman’s’; for ‘Versília’, the rootstocks R. multiflora ‘Paulista’, R. multiflora ‘Japones’, R.
multiflora ‘Iowa’, R. multiflora ‘Kopman’s’, R. indica
‘Mayor’, R. sp. ‘Natual Brier’ and R. manetti; it is not
recommended the rootstocks R. canina ‘Inermis’ and
R. indica x multiflora for both cultivars, also, R. indica
‘ Mayor’, for ‘ Tineke’; it can be planted, for both
cultivars, plants originated from cutting.
