Abscisic acid (ABA) treatment can confer chilling tolerance upon certain plant tissues that suffer injury at low temperatures. The present study investigated the efficacy of two post-harvest ABA treatments in suppressing low temperature injury (LTI) in cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) flowers stored at 1 degrees C or 5 degrees C. A shortened vase-life was recorded for roses stored at 5 degrees C compared to untreated roses and those stored at 1 degrees C. Storage at 1 degrees C significantly (
