Executive Summary
International Flavors & Fragrances' space flower experiment resulted in three major alternatives to the chemical components of the "Overnight Scentsation" rose plant after its launch on NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery mission. The American hybrid rose plant was launched into space by IFF to test the effects of microgravity during the nine day mission late last year ("The Rose Sheet" Nov. 2, 1998, p. 12).
