Abstract
Research studies related to the present project were carried out in the Rose project area Department of Horticulture, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, during 2001 to 2002. Rose cuttings were taken from two rose species i.e. Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Damaseena were selected for this experiment. Basal portion of their stem cuttings were treated with 500 ppm and 1000 ppm concentration of two growth hormones, NAA and IBA, by quick dip method in addition to a control. The experiment was laid out according to the randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement. Results expressed significant supremacy of 1000 ppm over rest of the treatments in both the growth hormones Rosa eentifolia produced more roots as compared to Rosa damaseena and IBA give significantly better roots as compared to NAA. Key Words: IBA, NAA, number of roots, roses,
