The rose cv. Souvenir was grown at two air humidities (65% and 90% relative humidity, RH) combined with three lighting periods (16, 20 and 24 h day−1at a photosynthetic photon flux of 170 μmol m−2s−1) using high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS). In addition, fluorescent tubes were included at the two air humidities at 20 h day−1. It was found that raising the humidity generally slightly increased the shoot length, while time until flowering was slightly reduced at the longest lighting period and increased at the two shorter lighting periods. Time until flowering and shoot length were slightly reduced but shoot fresh weight was unaffected by an increase in the lighting period. Fluorescent light gave shorter and lighter shoots as compared with HPS light. Increasing the air humidity reduced the vase life of the roses from 8–13 to 2–5 days, while increasing the lighting period from 16 to 24 h day−1at 65% RH reduced the vase life from 13 to 8 days. Shortening of vase life was caused by the early development of bent necks and leaf drying. Measurements of leaf diffusion resistance showed that the stomata did not close during the dark period when the roses were grown at high air humidity, and this was particularly the case when grown under a lighting period of 20 h day−1. The water-loss curves of detached leaves from shoots grown at 65% RH showed slight differences between the different lighting periods. The rate of weight loss of leaves from shoots grown at 90% RH was much greater than that at 65% RH, and increased with increasing lighting period.
