This study was carried out in private farm at Al-Kanatier Alkhairyia region during tow successive seasons (2008/2009-2009/2010) to evaluate influence of planting date and media on rooting of stem cuttings of Bougainvillea glabra. The results clearly show that, the rooting medium peat moss gave the best significant results in rooting percentage (100%) in both season with cuttings cultured in mid December in both season. Concerning, number and length of root/plant, different planting dates didn't record significant values with the media examined. While peat moss medium recoded the highest significant values comparing with other media in number of root/plant (16.3 and 13.3 ) during 1 st season and (11.3 and 11.0) during 2 nd season in February and December ,respectively. in root length cm/ plant (10.5 and 12.33.) during 1 st season and (10.6 and 10.3 ) during 2 nd season in February and December respectively. Regarding, shoot length cm/plant, the cuttings planting during December recorded the best results, values that were (30.3 and 31.0 cm/plant) comparing with February, values were (11.0 and 14.0 cm/plant) during 1 st and 2 nd season respectively.
