The applied organic technology included a soil preparatory stage with three ameliorative plants (<em>Sinapis alba</em> L., <em>Phacelia tanacetifolia</em> L. and <em>Tagetes patula</em> L.) and two organic mulch variants (wood chips and wool) after plantation. In variant <em>Sinapis</em> and <em>Tagetes</em>, all three varieties of roses showed the highest values for parameters: total vegetative growth, number of shoots, average shoots length and flowers number. Significant positive correlations between biometric parameters and soil bacteria, phosphorus, mineral nitrogen, potassium (0-20 cm horizon) and humus (20-40 cm horizon) content were observed. Significant positive correlations between the number of flowers and the soil respiration coefficient, soil content in phosphorus, potassium, humus, total soluble salts and mineral nitrogen were noticed. Negative correlations with soil pH have been observed. Taking into account the data obtained in the two flowering stages in 2017, the average yield per hectare cultivated with ‘Crown Princess Margareta’ was 9.44 t petals/ha. For the ‘Falstaff’ and ‘Brother Cadafael’ cultivars, the yields were 7.54 and 5.62 t petals per hectare respectively.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca}, author={BUTCARU, Ana C. and STĂNICĂ, Florin and PETRA, Sorina A.}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={692–704} }
