The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) in ten treatment and three replications. The findings showed that treatment T2 ADBSKKVCOH- 12 Light Red (Double) maximum (2.40) number of sprouts , Sprouting percentage (93.33%), Leaf Length (cm) (8.02 cm), Leaf Breadth (cm) (4.47cm), Average Leaf Area (cm2) (21.60 cm²), Girth of scion uniform height (mm) (8.63 mm), Girth of Stem (mm), (9.43 mm), Girth of Caudex (mm) (24.40 mm), Height of graft from graft union (cm) (12.18 mm), Absolute Growth Rate (cm/day) (0.087 cm/day), Relative Growth Rate(cm/cm/day) (0.0457cm/cm/day), Survival percentage (88.33%) Number of shoots observed in treatment T8 ADBSKKVCOH-19 Purple Red (Single) ((1.86), length of shoot (cm) (2.73), Number of days required to sprouting (11.43), Number of leaves per plant observed in treatment T7 ADBSKKVCOH-17 Red (Double) (19.39).
