Abstract
This study was conducted at Research Center of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Kerman province in 2004-2006. Nine Damask rose accessions collected from different parts of Kerman province were planted using a three replicated randomized complete block design (RCB). Flower yield, flower number, single flower fresh and dry weight, flower dry matter percentage, petal/flower weight, petal, stamen and pistil numbers were evaluated. Results of ANOVA showed significant differences among accessions for all the traits. Also, significant correlation was observed between different traits, and flower yield showed maximum correlation with flower number and single flower weight. Comparison of means (Duncan method) classified the accessions into different groups based on the above characteristics. The accession collected from Rafsanjan showed the highest flower yield.
