Dutch rose cultivated mostly for export purpose. In India Dutch rose is export countries
like Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.

Basic essential for Dutch rose to grow
Light – 40000-60000 LUX
Temperature 15 – 18 °C
Humidity 60% -65%
Good quality water
Good growing medium
Dutch rose also cultivated artificial medium like coco peat, Rockwool, pumice.
Process:
Apply this solution evenly on beds, there is no need to cover the soil and just leaves the soil,
after 4 to 6 hours the crop can be planted (Use one liter of water for one meter/square area
)
Bed height: 45 cm
The width of bed at the top: 90 cm
The pathway between beds: 45 cm
For better drainage, Gravel sand is added at the bottom. The soil should be porous.

Organic manure is added to bed because they provide nutritious elements for plant & help
to improve the soil texture.
For better roots establishment FYM & DAP or SSP ( 10 to 15 gm /sq.meter) is properly
mixed on the upper layer of the bed.
Planting
In India mostly two type of planting material is used one has budded plants, and other is a
Top grafted plant.
Before plantation, selection of right dutch rose varieties & right color combination is
important. It boosts Dutch rose marketing efforts.

For transplanting select Dutch Rose plants usually are 5 to 6 week’s old budded plants;
dutch rose the plants must be healthy, free from disease with well root development.
Plant density for Dutch is 8 –10 plants / sq.mtr. Is suitable. but Plant density depends upon
variety to a variety
Two rows planted on one bed the distance between plant to plant is 18 cm, and row – row
is 30 cm.
Row – Row – 30 cm
plant -plant -18 cm
After plantation humidity at 80% maintained for 4 -6 weeks to avoid desiccation of plants.
When this stage attained plant mother shoot & these branches bend towards the path. Due
to this cultural operation, we can get a good quality flower.
Bending in roses
Plant leaves are essential for the production of nutrients, and the bunding needs to
maintain an adequate number of leaves on the tree. The leaves are called lungs of trees.
Weak & blind shoots are select for bending & It is a continuous process and hence carried
out throughout the plant life cycle
5/9
Remove bud from the branches before bending. It is essential because bud provides
shelter for thrips & botrytis
of sprout buds to remove the growing buds for the edges of the leaves. The following
bunds of bedding are allowed to grow, and then they are later weakened, they are re-
bundled if they are not used for production.
Disbudding
For producing high-quality flower & length of steam side bud on this steam is remove this
called Disbudding.
If done too early it may be harmful to leaves and if done too late effect on upper leaf axil.
the right time to do disbudding when bud attain pea-size and shows slight color
Irrigation
Water quality should be as follows:
After plantation, irrigate the plants with the micro-sprinkler system use for four weeks to
help uniform root development of the plant. After four weeks that gradually change to drip
irrigation.
The water requirement of Dutch Rose plant can be approximately 800 ml – 1000ml for Per
plant per day.
In hot summer sprinkler system can be used to maintain the optimum humidity.
Observes the soil before irrigation and checks the soil moisture.
After that decide the quantity of water is required for irrigation. It varies with the season,
but the frequency is the same.
As a thumb rule, the soil should be moderately moist but never having excessive water. To
measure how much water required for roses is calculate with a tensiometer, pan
transcription or green finger method.

Fertilization
After plantation applies N : P: K 20:20:20 @ 2.5 gm/lit every two days for the first three
months.
Irrigate and fertilize frequently in small quantities for optimum results and always care to
fulfill the crop requirement.
Applied Micronutrients after every four days or weekly, if crop showing any deficiency
symptoms increase the quantity of micronutrient.
If possible, always do the soil analysis every 2-3 months to decide specific nutrient
schedule.
As a layman, whenever you enter the greenhouse, the plants should look very healthy &
glossy.
Harvesting:
7/9
Harvesting start after 12 – 15 weeks plantation. The average yield is 230 flowers per
sq/meter. (8 – 9 plants) per year.
The cut flower has a minimum vase life of 10-12 days depending upon variety. For Harvest
dutch flower best time is in the morning or late in the evening or during the day when a
temperature is low.
To produce big size head use bud cap 7 to 8 days before harvesting results in 10 to 12
percentage bud size increase.
8/9
The lower end of flower cut stems is placed in clean plastic buckets containing clean water
or 500 ppm citric acid solution.
