Europe's Major Rose Breeders Hunt for Flowers of the Future
AP reports Europe’s leading rose breeders from France, England, Germany, Belgium, and Ireland pursue galaxies of new colors, fewer thorns, and stronger disease resistance. Notable figures include Jean Gaujard, William Kordes, Edward Le Grice, Louis Lens, and Sam McGredy. The Royal National Rose Society notes Gallica roots and heavy import activity as Britain backs plant variety rights and aims for global rose breakthroughs. The group plans a November trip to New Zealand for the International Rose Convention.
