The information on integrated use of organic manures, chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers is lacking in floricultural crops in general and in rose particular.Besides this improvement of vase life of a cut flower is a pre requisite for better returns and the better holding solution need to be explored which can enhances the quality of a flower after it is detached from the parent plant.
