Abstract
This study was conducted at glasshouse of ACSAD nursery in Lattakia, during (2018 and 2019) using four genotypes of Rosa damascene (RD1, RD2, RD3 and RD4) treated with three different concentrations of IBA i.e.500, 1000 and 2000 ppm in addition to the control treatment 0 ppm, in order to determine the best concentration of IBA. The experimental design was randomized complete block design with two factors in four replicates. The results indicated that the use of IBA encouraged the rooting at different rates according to the genotype and the concentration of IBA. Treatments (1000 and 2000) ppm were significantly higher than the other treatments in rooting rate (%(89.8- 88.27 respectively. The response of the rootstocks to IBA differed according to the studied genotypes. Genotypes RD1 and RD2 were superior when treated with 2000 ppm concentration in root percentage (90.2- 90.3)%, callus creation (80- 81)%, root number (8 and 8.1) and root length (5.41 and 5.4) cm respectively.
Keywords: Rosa damascena, Propagation, rootstock, Auxin IBA, Genotypes.
