Dear Plant Tissue Culture Experts,
Many crop and horticultural plants are produced by commercial tissue culture laboratories all over the world such as bananas, strawberries, sugarcane, etc. But many important medicinal plants could not be possibly propagated via tissue culture techniques at a mass scale, like Sandal, etc.
I want to know whether the commercial tissue culture of Rose is possible?
If yes, what are the protocol and PGRs? If not then why is it so?
Whether Rose has any different kinds of nutritional or physicochemical requirements under in vivo or in vitro conditions?
Mahipal Shekhawat Sir,
Yes, success at commercial-scale production of Rosa cultivars using tissue culture technique is very scarce, and existing reports also revealed the production of limited number of shoots (except a few). It has major problems like hyperhydration, chlorosis, and necrosis. The following links may be useful...

Mahipal Shekhawat of course. A lab in Bulgaria, settled in the Rose Valley (Kazanlak), micropropagate commercially various rose accesions.

Yes, I have visited a tissue culture lab that is producing damask rose by tissue culture commercially.
Growing roses of any kind is not a problem. Murashige and Skoog medium with BAP can help.
