In 5 experiments, the effects were investigated of several keeping solutions [composition stated] on the vase life of cut flowers of the semidouble pink cultivar Rebecca. Postharvest life was prolonged by all the solutions, which in some cases increased it about 4-fold compared with controls held in distilled water. A solution of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphate + NaB + aminooxyacetic acid + 3,4,5-T and sucrose not only increased vase life but was associated with a different type of senescence; the ligulae and disc lost colour, probably because of adequate water uptake and low transpiration losses, whereas in distilled water and other keeping solutions the inflorescence lost turgidity and wilted.
