Innovation in rose breeding
Innovation in rose breeding
Innovation is our core business. In fact, we dedicate ourselves to innovation daily. Within our location in The Netherlands we make over 75.000 crossings a year trying to create exciting new rose varieties.Testing of all promising varieties is conducted in our greenhouses in Holland as well as in our testing facilities in Kenya. We use sophisticated computer software to assist us in the hybridization of new rose varieties.
However, the most important element we add to this constant quest of optimization is our know-how and skills obtained over many years of breeding. An excellent team of highly qualified and experienced professionals form the backbone of our innovative rose breeding company.
Our focus is on Mutual Growth
Creating new rose varieties for future rose buyers is a team effort. Interpreting market changes, understanding the needs of rose growers and distributors and translating all these preferences in breeding amazing new rose varieties demands a close relationship with our customers and key influencers.
That is why we travel the world meeting rose growers, rose distributors and retailers, learning from their experiences and needs. To grow our business we have to make sure our customers can meet the demands of their markets. Mutual Growth truly lies at the heart of our business success.
