Abstract :
This study was conducted to assess the genetic variety of 12 damask
rose genotypes of Kurdistan using morphological traits in Zaleh Research
Farm affiliated to Kurdistan Province Agriculture Research Center. The experiment
was carried out as a randomized complete block design with three
replications and each replication included three stocks in each genotype.
Results of analysis of variance showed significant differences among the
studied genotypes at the probability level of 1%. Results of mean comparison
showed a wide variety for studied traits in different genotypes. Relationship
between traits showed that the number of flowers, plant height, average
width, average length, average number of leaves, mean flower diameter,
and petal to flower weight ratio per stem had positive and significant
correlation at 1% probability level. Based on cluster analysis, 12 genotypes
of damask rose were divided into four distinct groups according to different
traits. Thus, according the results, genotypes Kurdistan 3 and Kurdistan 2
can be introduced as superior genotypes. Kurdistan 3 had high yield in
flower per hectare and the number of flowers in per bush, and Kurdistan 2
had the highest flower diameter.
