ResumoThe study was carried out with 42 hybrid tea rose varieties during June, 2013 to March, 2014 to determine their performance for quality traits, yield and yield contributing traits after October pruning. Among different varieties, maximum length of flower bud (4.02 cm) was recorded by Forever, while variety Apartie showed minimum length of flower bud (2.36 cm). Maximum flower bud diameter (3.10 cm) was recorded in Forever and the minimum (1.87 cm) in Apartie. Maximum flower stalk length (50.15 cm) was found in Chardony while the minimum (9.73 cm) was recorded in New Zealand. Kentucky Derby exhibited maximum weight of flower (14.80 g) and minimum flower weight (7.04 g) was found in Apartie. Maximum number of petals per flower (50.05) was recorded in Hot Pewter, while the minimum was observed in Aparties (19.50). The duration of flowering (119 days) was maximum in Alliance and the minimum was in Grace de Monaco and Rosemary Harkness (76 days). Based on the overall evaluation of varieties for quality, yield and yield contributing traits, Alliance, Melody, Roter Champagner, Melame, Kentucky Derby, Forever, Montreal, and National Trust were found superior and suitable for Nagpur conditions.
