Abstract
Conventional propagation of Rosa indica L. through stem cuttings is limited by low rooting efficiency and seasonal dependence, restricting large-scale production. This study aimed to develop a simplified and cost-effective micropropagation protocol by optimizing cytokinin–auxin interactions for shoot multiplication, assessing the need for exogenous auxins during rooting, quantifying multiplication efficiency and examining In vitro flowering. Single-node explants from field-grown clonal mother plants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with combinations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and auxins. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD) (n = 60 per treatment) and data were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD at p
