With the addition of substrate and antimicrobial substances from the freshening solution, it will be able to keep flower fresh for a longer time. This study aims to determine the solution concentration of sugar, basil extract and bilimbi extract that is suitable for cut roses. This study used Random Group Design (RAK).
