High production temperatures increased postproduction flower longevity and decreased postproduction bud drop. In ‘Meidanclar’, the high production temperature increased incidence of malformed flowers. No effects of night interruption could be shown on either postproduction flower longevity or bud drop.engKeeping qualityNight interruptionRosa spjournal article
