The regenerative ability of cuttings of decorative forms and varieties of common ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim.) was studied during their introduction to the Nizhny Novgorod region. The relevance of the work is due to the unrelenting need to expand and optimize the list of species of woody and shrubby plants used in the creation of multifunctional urban plantings. Among them, representatives of the genus Ninebark (Physocarpus (Cambess.) Maxim.) are promising, able to effectively perform their sanitary and hygienic, decorative and aesthetic, recreational and balneological functions. The purpose of the study is to give a comparative assessment of decorative forms and varieties of pemphigus according to the ability of their cuttings to root in conditions of seasonal vegetation structures. The object of research were reproductively mature plants of vegetative origin of the same age, belonging to the typical form of the species under study and its varieties: ´Luteus´ (P. opulifolius f. 'Luteus'), ´Summer Wine´ (P. opulifolius f. ´Summer Wine´), ´Diablo´ (P. opulifolius f. 'Diabolo'). According to the current forest zoning, the territory of the deployment of experimental plots belongs to the zone of coniferous-deciduous forests, coniferous-deciduous forest area of the European part of the Russian Federation (3 forest area). The work was carried out using a field stationary and laboratory method. The methodological approach provided for the observance of the principle of the only logical difference and the basic requirements for the organization of experience: typicality, suitability and expediency. The subject of research was the processes of callusogenesis, rhizogenesis and post-regenerative development occurring on summer cuttings during their rooting.
