Özet

The vase life of cut rose flowers is generally short due to bent neck and wilting. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different concentrations of citric acid (CA) (100, 200, and 300 mg L-1), salicylic acid (SA) (100, 200, and 300 mg L-1), succinic acid (SUA) (100, 300, and 500 mg L-1), glycolic acid (GA) (76, 152, and 228 mg L-1), and benzethonium chloride (BC) (25, 50, and 100 mg L-1) on the vase life, relative fresh weight, and water uptake of Rosa hybrida 'Samourai'. Distilled water was used as the control. The results showed that the vase solutions containing 100 mg L-1 of CA (13.27 days), 100 mg L-1 of SUA (13.07 days), and 25 mg L-1 of BC (13.0 days) significantly increased vase life as compared with the control (8.53 days).
