Abstract
Current research in rose physiology is reviewed, with special attention to areas in which knowledge is lacking and existing horticultural techniques are unsatisfactory.
The following subjects are discussed: factors determining productivity and ways to increase flower production; environmental factors affecting productivity – light, temperature, humidity, CO2 – and possible interaction between them; energy saving by means of horticultural manipulations; breeding for better physiological and horticultural traits; root environment – media and rootstocks; postharvest physiology – future directions.
