Summary

Improvement in the regrowth of cold-stored roses requires a better knowledge of the plant's physiology during the storage period. The authors have observed simultaneous variations in the bud growth, root regeneration potential and carbo-hydrate content in the variety "Mme A. Meilland". The results of these observations are given. At the same time, growth measurements of isolated buds show a rapid decrease in their dormancy during storage at 1 deg C. These results suggest that the regrowth rate at 20 deg C is mainly due to root regeneration.
