Spatial and vertical distributions, and population !uctuationsof Tetranychus urticae and its predator Phytoseiulus persimiliswere determined in four varieties of rose (Royal, Samuray, Red Baiserand Keiro) under greenhouse conditions. Nine samples for the pestand 8 samples for the predator were obtained. From 20 Septemberto 18 November 2013, T. urticae and P. persimilis presented an aggregateddistribution pattern during most of the sampling dates. At thesame time, P. persimilis did not change the vertical distribution of T.urticae. A synchronous behavior between both predator and prey wasobserved in the four study varieties, although only the cultivars Royaland Samuray presented a signi"cant correlation (r= -0.708, P<0.05;r= 0.702, P<0.05, respectively).
