Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to access the effect of mulching on growth, yield and weed management in rose cv. Gladiator. The experiment was conducted at AICRP on Floriculture, NARP, Pune during the year 2011-12 to 2013-14 with eight different black and white polyethylene mulch of various thickness, paddy straw and without mulch treatments. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The pooled data result revealed that the plant covered with 300 µ thick black polyethylene mulch was at par with 400 µ thick black polyethylene mulch in respect of number of flowers per plant (38.03 and 36.07, respectively), flower diameter (6.36cm and 6.43cm, respectively), flower length(4.66cm and 4.42cm, respectively) and flower stem length (52.86cm and 52.53cm, respectively). However, black polyethylene mulch showed better results of growth, yield and weed management as compared to white polyethylene mulch and paddy straw.
