Abstract
With the advent of state-of-the-art greenhouse cultivation in early 1990s, large-scale cultivation of export quality cut flower of roses in protected condition started, thereby totally altering production dynamics. Cut flower trade is worldwide dominated by Hybrid Tea roses. Roses are attacked by many pests and diseases that can lower quality and yields. Among the insect pests, thrips, white fly, red spider mites, tobacco budworm, and aphids are important. The major diseases affecting roses are dieback, black spot, rust, and powdery mildew. Their symptoms, biology, spread, and management are discussed.
