be the most suitable treatment in damask rose, R. damascena Mill. (Zabbarzadeh and Khosh-Khui,
2005). Sisko (2011) reported genotype dependent rooting response in Rosa spp.The regeneration
of roots is regulated at least in part by auxin and the localization of the differentiation of roots at
the basal end of the cuttings is due to the polar movement of auxin towards the physiologically
lower end. Mukhambetzhanov et al. (2011) reported 100% rooting in rose cultivar’ Pareo’ in the
presence of IBA + IAA. The effect of rooting chemical 'Quic Root' has been studied in R. indica
for the first time. The efficiency of root induction and morphogenesis observed in R. indica was
significant. Altogether 3-7 roots differentiated and attained proper growth. The rooting chemical
has been reported to enhance cambial activity by mobilizing reserve food materials to the site of
root formation (Gurumurithi et al., 1984; Purohit et al., 2008). Although spring or the season when
the fresh flush starts has been found to be a favorable period for rooting experiment, in the present
experiment rooting can be induced round the year.
