In this study, it was aimed to compare nutritional status of organic and conventional oil-bearing rose (Rosa damascena Mill) gardens in Lakes Region. For this, leaf and flower samples were collected from oil-bearing rose gardens in Lakes Region, Isparta. In these samples nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper and boron analyses were made. When the leaf analysis results obtained from conventional and organic production areas were compared, it was seen that nutrient concentrations of the leaves from conventional gardens were higher generally. And these results were significant in terms of nitrogen, manganese, and zinc concentrations. Similarly, flower nutrient concentration of conventional gardens were higher for all examined nutrients and differences between organic and conventional gardens for nitrogen, potassium, calcium and iron concentrations were significant.
