The study, "Response of Rose Cutting to Selected Rooting Hormones", was conducted at Banaba Cerca, Indang, Cavite from November 2, 1979 to January 30, 1980. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selected rooting hormones (IBA, NAA), on the rose cuttings; and to find out which of the hormones would give the best rooting effect. Sixty four softwood cuttings were selected from free disease mother plants of Chicago rose variety at San Pedro, Laguna. These were planted in 64 clay pots with a mixture of sand, compost and garden soil. Among the rooting hormones, Indole Butyric Acid (100 ppm) was observed to be the best in terms of rooting effect.
Highly significant difference was obtained in Treatment 2 ( 100 ppm IBA), which produced roots 12 days after Planting, with a root length of 9.6 ems.; this obtained also the largest number of leaves with a mean of 26.06.
With respect to percentage survival, 100 ppm Indole Butyric Acid (Treatment 2) gave 10056 survival on rose cuttings.
