Abstract:
In order to select Chinese ancient rose varieties suitable for field planting in gardens in Southern China, the field performance of 19 Chinese ancient rose varieties was observed and recorded in Zhanjiang Area for two years, and their production characters, ornamental characters and stress resistance were observed and recorded.They were divided into summer and autumn, winter and spring for comprehensive evaluation by using analytic hierarchy process and grey correlation analysis.The results showed that ‘Hudie’ and ‘Chilonghanzhu’ were the two varieties with the best comprehensive performance in the whole observation period in Zhanjiang area, which were recommended to popularize and apply in gardens in Southern China.‘Yueyuefen’ ‘Yipinzhuyi’ ‘Fenzhuanglou’ ‘Ziyanfeiwu’ ‘Sichun’ ‘Yanzhihong’ can be applied selectively, other varieties were not suitable for garden applications in Zhanjiang area.In this study, the comprehensive index evaluation system of garden rose in Southern China was established by using the method of grey correlation and analytic hierarchy process, and the weight of variety selection of garden rose in Southern China was obtained.The most important four index were disease resistance(0.223 0),flower quantity(0.161 8),florescence(0.134 5) and branch number(0.127 9).
