An undergraduate thesis Bachelor of Science in Biology, major in General Biology. Department of Biological Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. Adviser: Dr. Simeon S. Crucido. The study was conducted from January 10, 2003 to February 8, 2003 at the Central Experiment Station, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite to determine the effect of different concentrations of Indolebutyric acid (IBA) on stenting roses and to determine the best concentration of IBA on stenting roses. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments and three replications was used in the study. The different concentrations of Indolebutyric Acid (IBA) used were as follows: T1 (Control), T2 (50 ppm), T3 (100 ppm), T4 (500 ppm), T5 (1000 ppm). Results showed that in terms of number of days to graft union of the rootstock and the scion, percentage of success in stenting based on the total number of rooted samples and the percentage of success in stenting based on the total number of samples used, were neither affected by the IBA concentrations, nor the variety and their interactions. On the other hand, the percent rooting of stented cuttings was significantly affected by the interactions of the variety and the IBA concentration. For the Red France variety 1000 ppm of IBA showed a similar effect as the 500 ppm IBA. There were no significant differences noted from the IBA treated cuttings for the Grand Gala but significantly higher than those representing the control (untreated cuttings).
