Rose plants produce large, attractive bisexual flowers, but they seldom produce fruits. The reasons for failure of fruit formation in rose are as follows
(i)  Rose plants may not produce viable pollens, hence, no fertilisation can take place.
(ii)  Rose plants may not have functional eggs.
(iii)  Rose plants may have defective and non-functional ovule ,which is the female gametophyte generator.
(iv)  There may be self-incompatibility.
(v)  There may be internal barriers for pollen tube growth or fertilisation.
(vi)  As rose plants are hybrids and reproduce vegetatively, there are chances for them to be sterile.
