Abstract
Roses (var.
Sonia) were stored for 3 days at 5°C in dark, in water containing various concentrations of bacteria (1.1×102 up to 1.7×107 per ml). The bacteria in the water mainly originated from rose stems that had been stored prior to the experiment.
Sonia) were stored for 3 days at 5°C in dark, in water containing various concentrations of bacteria (1.1×102 up to 1.7×107 per ml). The bacteria in the water mainly originated from rose stems that had been stored prior to the experiment.
After the 3 days of storage, the roses were transferred to a climate chamber (20°C, 60% r.h., 15 μE/m2/s) and placed in bottles filled with tap water.
The previous exposure to even high bacterial numbers did not influence vase life nor water uptake of the roses.
