Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to play important roles in transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic gene regulation in various biological processes. However, lncRNAs and their regulatory roles remain poorly studied in horticultural plants. Rose is economically important not only for their wide use as garden and cut flowers but also as important sources of natural fragrance for perfume and cosmetics industry, but presently little was known about the regulatory mechanism of the floral scent production. In this paper, a RNA-Seq analysis with strand-specific libraries, was performed to rose flowers in different flowering stages. The scented variety ‘Tianmidemeng’ (
