A field investigation entitled “Effect of GA3 on growth, yield and quality of different rose varieties” was carried out during Kharif season of the year 2016-2017 at Horticulture Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur with the objectives to study the different rose varieties for growth, flower yield and quality parameters and to find out the suitable scented rose variety for commercial cultivation in Nagpur conditions. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four treatments. The treatments were replicated thrice. The treatments are G1-control G2- 100ppm G3- 200ppm G4- 300ppmwith varieties V1 - Toro, V2 -Double delight, V3 -Gladiator. In respect of flowering parameter like days to first flower bud initiation, 50% flowering, days to first harvesting and flowering span from pruning were recorded in variety Gladiator and GA3 200ppm. Regarding quality parameters viz. diameter of flower bud, diameter of stalk, stalk length, number of leaves on flower stalk and vase life were recorded maximum in variety Toro and GA3 200ppm.Thus, it can be inferred from the present investigation that, the variety Gladiator and GA3 200ppm was found to be better in respect of flowering and variety Toro is better in quality parameters for commercial cultivation under Nagpur conditions.
