Summary

NORMAL REFRIGERATION (NR), LOW PRESSURE (LP, 1.3 TO 4.7 KILOPASCAL), AND LOW OXYGEN (0.5 TO 8%) STORAGE TRIALS WERE CONDUCTED USING CUT FLOWERS OF CARNATION AND ROSE. IN GENERAL, CARNATIONS COULD BE STORED FOR 6 WEEKS UNDER NR AND 8 WEEKS UNDER LP CONDITIONS IF THE FLOWERS WERE PRETREATED WITH SILVER THIOSULFATE AND VAPOR BARRIERS WERE UTILIZED DURING NR STORAGE. ROSES COULD BE STORED UP TO 2 WEEKS UNDER NR AND UP TO 4 WEEKS UNDER LP CONDITIONS. ROSE VASE-LIFE AFTER NR STORAGE WAS ENHANCED BY UTILIZING VAPOR BARRIERS DURING STORAGE.
