As a rose breeder, you want your flowers to be known, loved, and demanded. Building your reputation requires creating a fine assortment of top-quality roses that stand out not only to the growers — your first in line-customers — but also to the next in the long floral chain, such as exporters, importers, florists, and the end consumer.
De Ruiter Innovations earned its reputation a long time ago and sees this confirmed during the 2024 Rose Show at the Oranje-Nassau Pavilion in Keukenhof, where it took home several awards for its outstanding roses. All awards were won in the import roses categories that grouped all roses that were not grown in the Netherlands.
Prize Winners From De Ruiter
These are the roses from the X-Pression series that made not only the visitors (daily average 27,000!) awe but also pleased both the professional jury and the trade jury. Sales Manager Walter Ammeraad was called four times to the stage to accept these well-deserved awards.
Rose Pink X-Pression
The big winner in the category of Import Roses, according to the professional jury, is Rose Pink X-Pression. According to the jury, the innovative and extravagant Candy X-Pression has a special intense color and is beautifully filled.
