Dataset on the combination effects of 1-methylcyclopropene and salicylic acid on postharvest quality of cut roses 'Peach Avalanche' and 'Sexy Red'

Cut roses is one of the important ornamental cut flowers. Many factors affect the loss of postharvest life quality of cut flower, such as temperature, humidity and the presence of ethylene during postharvest storage. In ethylene sensitive roses, ethylene enhances petal discoloration, chlorophyll degradation, petal efflorescence and increase in petal diameter which generating in flower senescence. This data article described the effect of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), Salicylic Acid (SA) and its combination on the postharvest life quality of two commercial cut roses varieties, 'Peach Avalanche' and 'Sexy Red'. The flower longevity quality of 1-MCP at 0.5 and 1 µL/L, SA 1.0 and 1.5%, combination of 1-MCP + SA (0.5 + 1.0 µL/L and 1.0 + 1.5%), and untreated flowers were analyzed.
