A field experiment was conducted on rose varieties, Rosa damascena and R. centifolia, to assess the effect of growth hormones, Indole butyric acid (IBA) and Seradix-A, on root induction. The data on sprouting of first bud, number of shoots, length of shoots, number of roots, length of roots and survival rate was recorded in two seasons (spring and autumn). It was found that both varieties behaved differently in different seasons. Rosa centifolia produced maximum shoot length and number of roots in spring, whereas R. damascena produced maximum shoot length in autumn and maximum number of roots in spring when treated with Seradix-A. These results envisaged that autumn season is the best for planting R. damascena and spring for R. centifolia. Seradix-A showed better results as compared to IBA.
