      abstract     = {The vase life sensitivity to mild desiccation $(12\%$
                      weight loss) was addressed in rose, together with
                      alleviation possibilities. The postharvest longevity upon
                      arrival or following mild desiccation was determined on
                      eight cultivars, combined with several morpho-physiological
                      traits. Mild desiccation significantly decreased
                      $(10–39\%)$ the vase life of six cultivars (termed
                      sensitive), whereas it did not affect the vase life of two
                      (thus tolerant). More severe desiccation $(>12\%$ weight
                      loss) shortened the vase life of a tolerant cultivar.
                      Stomatal control of water loss explained a large part of
                      vase life variation following mild desiccation, whereas cut
                      flower ability to rehydrate or pedicel rigidity (strength,
                      wood density) did not significantly contribute to this
                      variation. Four potentially-mitigating treatments were
                      further tested on the three most sensitive to
                      mild-desiccation cultivars. Antitranspirant treatments [SNP
                      (elicitor of NO) or acetylsalicylic acid in vase water or
                      darkening] decreased the cut flower water loss during the
                      postharvest phase and alleviated the
                      mild-desiccation-induced reduction in vase life. In
                      contrast, Tween 20 (wetting agent) in the vase water
                      shortened vase life. It is concluded that the vase life of
                      previously desiccated cut roses can be extended by employing
                      treatments that reduce the postharvest water loss.},
