Rose Breeding with Passion, Innovation, Involvement, and Quality

For almost sixty years now, we are experienced in the breeding of cut flower roses, both single heads, and spray (multi-headed) roses. Although Interplant is mainly known as the spray rose breeder, we develop a wide range of rose types such as (intermediate) hybrid-teas, garden shaped roses, and sweetheart roses. Good examples of upcoming HT-varieties are Goldfinch and Good Vibes. Classic hybrid-tea stars like Moonwalk and Explorer are still in high demand. As for our spray roses, innovation is the keyword with so many new product lines such as the Trendsetters and the Flow Series. Each of these individually unique in its shape, color, growth, look and feel. The past decade our spray rose assortment has been broadened rapidly. A natural consequence also of the increased demand worldwide.

More than a Wedding Filler

The spray rose is no longer considered to be a wedding filler only, but a true, full-fledged, multi-purpose product. Besides the broader assortment, also the color palette and the overall quality of the spray rose has increased. Some upcoming rising spray stars are Impressionist, Flinders Lane, and Leila. Spray rose varieties that are already established and well recognized by the market can be found here.

However, florists and consumers can enjoy so much more of this trendy product: research reveals a simple trick to prolong the vase life of spray roses by 30%!
