Establishing Screening System for Heat-resistant Rose Cultivars Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process
This research established a comprehensive evaluation system for rose cultivars based on AHP,twelve botanical characters for twenty rose cultivars were observed and recorded.The comprehensive evaluation of heat-resistant from three perspectives of growing potential,ornamental and resistance.According to the scores of comprehensive evaluation,twenty cultivars were divided into four grades and screening the heat-resistant rose cuhivars.The results showed that:this system classified the heat resistance of 20 rose cultivars for four grades,which were excellent,good,general,and poor,and there were significant differences between each grade.We screened out four heat-resistant rose cultivars were‘Golden Scepter’,‘Roundelay’,‘Rodhatte’ and ‘Palmengarten Frunfurt’,they had superior comprehensive traits in high temperature of summer and better growing potential and ornamental with high temperature in summer which are suitable for promotion and application of the area that focus on ornamental in hot weather.
