Abstract: Rose-picking is the most labor-intensive, the most expensive and the only operation of the technological process in the oleaginous rose cultivation, which is not mechanized. The article presents the results of an experimental research of a farm implement for mechanization of rose harvesting. The tests proved the structural strength and the functional capability of the implement. The requirements to the ways of its connecting to the farm tractor, forward speed of the tractor/implement combination, formed on its basis, qualification of rose-pickers, parameters of pneumatic system for picking of rose blossoms and other factors for its effective use in rose production, are identified.
