Abstract: Low seed germination is a major problem in commercial rose breeding and in this study we have attempted to address this problem by various pre-sowing treatments across multiple seed parents. The study confirmed the seed germination to be dependent on genotypes. Among the five rose genotypes selected for the present work, maximum seed germination (11.46%) was observed in the genotype ‘IIHRR-3-7-12’. Minimum germination (1.06%) was observed in genotype ‘IIHRR-4-15-12’. Among the different treatments, maximum seed germination (13.33%) was observed in the treatment where mechanical scarification was attempted.
