Rose Breeders Seek Flower Of Future In Europe
Europe’s leading rose breeders race to develop new varieties with fewer thorns, brighter colors, and stronger disease resistance. Key figures include Jean Gaujard in France, Wilhelm Kordes in Germany, Edward Le Grice in England, Louis Lens in Belgium, and Sam McGready in Northern Ireland, with Britain backing plant rights and a 1964 Royal Society framework. The Royal National Rose Society reports widespread activity and plans a November trip of members to New Zealand for the International Rose Convention.
