The experiment was undertaken in a polyethylene structure. The cuttings were taken with no leaf, with two leaflets and with five leaflets of six commercial cultivars of Rosa. These cuttings were treated with NAA 100 ppm and Seradix rooting powder. Rooted cuttings were recorded after six weeks. The experimental results confirmed that the presence of leaf is seeential for root formation in single-node cuttings. Percentage of rooted cuttings increased with an increase of leaf area. Hormone treatments gave promising results in all the cultivars.
