DESCRIPTION:  “Virtual Rose” is an interdisciplinary project working on the development of a 3D model that simulates and visualizes shoot production in Dutch commercial cut-rose production systems over time. Plant management (pruning, harvest, bending), greenhouse environment (light, temperature, air humidity, CO2) and shoot physiology (especially bud break) are considered as factors influencing flower shoot quantity and quality.
