What yield and income can I expect from Dutch rose under polyhouse?

Dutch rose, the long stem cut rose, is grown under polyhouse and is a long term crop that can produce for several years from one planting. A well managed crop can give roughly 150 to 250 marketable stems per square metre per year once in full production, but this depends a lot on variety, management and bent shoot technique. Income swings hugely with the season, long stem A grade roses fetch very high rates around Valentine's Day, weddings and festivals, and much less in a glut. Because rates are so variable, treat income figures as a wide range and verify current stem prices at a flower market like Pune or Bengaluru before planning. The crop is demanding, you need good pest and disease control, cold chain and grading to capture the premium dates. Confirm recommended varieties and density with your KVK and a buyer first.
