Effect of postharvest pretreatment, recutting stems in water, and carbonated soft drink treatment on vaselife and flower quality of cut rose 'Mary de Vor'.

The effects of postharvest treatments on vase life and quality of cut rose (cv. Mary de Vor) flowers were investigated. Flowers were either: (A) pretreated with 3 mM Al2(SO4)3 for 10 mins followed by immersion for 4 h in 3% sucrose solution. Stems were recut in air then placed in distilled water; (B) kept in tap water for 2 h, then stems were recut in water and placed in distilled water; or (C) kept in tap water for 2 h, then stems were recut in air and placed in 25% carbonated soft drink + 10 ppm NaOCl. These 3 treatments were also combined (A + B, A + C and A + B + C). Vase life and quality (size and FW) were promoted following treatment with C, A + C or A + B + C. Flowers treated with C (alone or in combination) developed less bent neck and produced less ethylene than other treatments. The most effective treatment for prolonging vase life and maintaining flower quality was C.
