The study was conducted at Department of Floriculture and Land Scape, NARC, Islamabad, Pakistan during May to July 2011. The objective of the study was to assess the performance of exotic cultivars of hybrid tea roses under agro-climatic conditions of Islamabad. Nineteen hybrid rose cultivars were studied and data was collected on number of branches per plant, plant height (cm), stalk length (cm), number of flowers per plant and flowering percentage per plot. The highest stalk length (24.6, 24cm) was recorded in cultivars Double Delight and Signature. Maximum plant height (100cm) was recorded in Jagua followed by Pink Peace and Honey Perfume (97cm). While minimum plant height (67.33cm) was noted in Abby De Culnry. Maximum number of flowers (52) were produced by cultivar Honey Perfume followed by Pink Peace (50) and Allice Red (34). Supreme flowering percentage (65%) was observed in cultivar Abby De Culnry followed by Julias Rose (60%) and Cendrila (52%). Results of the study suggest that Double Delight, Signature, Honey Perfume and Pink Peace performed better during hot months of May to July and these are best suited cultivars for further research work.
