N2  - Continuous postharvest treatment of cut rose flowers (Rosa hybrida L. cv. Diana) with maleic acid hydrazide (1.2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione, MH) at 560.5 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate (HQS) at 388.4 HQS, MH + HQS or sucrose + HQS treatments. The longevity of flowers in MH + sucrose in combination with HQS was extended for 18 days after vase treatments, whereas the longevity of cut flowers was only 4, 6 and 8 days for HQS, MH + HQS and sucrose + HQS, respectively. Cut roses treated with MH + sucrose + HQS in vase solution exhibited greater water uptake and less water loss than those in HQS. The concentrations of various sugars in petals were highest in the sucrose + HQS treatment, and MH + sucrose + HQS &#62; MH + HQS &#62; HQS. Ethylene production was significantly lower in sucrose + HQS or MH + sucrose + HQS treatments in comparison to MH + HQS, or HQS.
