John Pouw

Breeder and floral storyteller

John Pouw

Rosa’s Secret is the result of (1) a promise to my Canadian buddy, Burke ‘Bruno’ Cullen. We share the love of myth, beauty, and Stroh-inspired storytelling. And (2) my grandfather Jan Pouw, who set up his own flower growing business a hundred years ago and who taught me never to give up on a dream, work hard, and discover and tap your talents.

Today, I spend my professional time on the bow of the longboat of Viking Roses, ready to invade. Watch out!
