Effect of crude extract from Boesenbergia pandurata (Roxb.) Schltr. On vase life of Grand Gala roses was studied in two experiments. Experiment I, the roses were held in distilled water, sucrose 5.0 percent and crude extract of B. pandurata (Rf sub(0)-Rf sub(4) at the concentration of 5.0 percent with sucrose 5.0 percent. The results revealed that the vase lives of roses held with distilled water, sucrose 5.0 percent and crude extract of B. pandurata Rf sub(0), Rf sub(1), Rf sub(2), Rf sub(3) and Rf sub(4) were 4.60, 5.10, 5.40, 4.90, 5.80, 5.05 and 5.00 days, respectively. The Rf sub(2) gave the longest vase life. Experiment II, the roses were held in distilled water, sucrose 5.0 percent and Rf sub(2) of B. pandurata at the concentrations of 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 percent (v/v) with sucrose 5.0 percent (w/v). The results revealed that the rose vase lives were 4.24, 4.20, 6.02, 5.40, 5.32, 4.88 and 4.84 days, respectively.
