Rose

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 1,420 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 430 mm it can use in a normal year, and 330 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–24 °C on average, and survives 11–35 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Jun 36 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 34 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 33 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 33 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Oct 32 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 31 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 30 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 32 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 35 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 38 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
• Apr 40 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• May 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 36 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in May get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Soil for Rose: 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of zinc.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 70 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
