Rosa hybrida (cv. Serena) stems harvested at the closed bud stage were recut and placed in a solution of 200 mg 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphate/litre + 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 g sucrose/litre for 6 h at 20 deg C. Control stems were placed in distilled water. After 6 h, the stems were placed in open polyethylene bags at 2 deg for 1 h. The bags were then sealed and the stems kept at 2 deg for 3, 6 or 9 days. Stems pulsed with 60, 80 or 100 g sucrose/litre and kept at 2 deg for 3 days had a longer (but not significantly different) vase life than the controls (11.47, 12.13 and 13.40 days compared with 11.00 days in the controls). Stems pulsed with 80 or 100 g sucrose/litre and kept at 2 deg for 6 days had a vase life of 10.53 and 10.80 days, respectively. The other treatments resulted in a shorter vase life. A relationship was detected between vase life and FW variation. Stems pulsed with 40, 60, 80 or 100 g sucrose/litre and stored at 2 deg for 3 days had a greater flower diameter during vase life than the controls.
