The new line of mini roses ‘I am Different’ from Roses Forever in Denmark are ready to be offered for licensed growers around the world. After one and a half year of test growing more than twice as many different varieties, six varieties are chosen from these criteria – easy to grow – growing time max 10 weeks – attractive – different from a standard mini-rose – absolutely different look.
“When you grow mini-roses in big scale it could be a good idea to have more than one line to optimize the demand and selling. You have different customers and you then have more to offer”, explains rose breeder Rosa Eskelund. It is an advantage that the different lines can be grown in the same pot size – only the rose and the design of the sleeves are different, but with the same needs for the cultivation.
“We have more growers worldwide who choose two of our lines in ex 10,5 cm pots, as 100.000 pots per week can be a lot to sell of the same product. Therefore, it is a good idea that for example half of the production are another line, with exactly the same way of growing”.
More growers grow both the Roses Forever line, which is the colorful line, and the Infinity line which is characterized with its very big and filled flowers and a higher prize.
Now the third line for standard 10,5 cm pots is a reality and Roses Forever are ready to deliver upstarts cuttings from early spring 2018.
All three lines can be grown in big scale high-tech greenhouses and with exactly the same growing technique and needs.
All can be grown in either 10,5 cm or 12 cm pots with only 10 weeks of production time.
The ‘I am Different’ line consist of six new very diverse varieties with the names: Only for Collectors, Look at Me, Never Seen Before, I am a Unicum, Shocking Red, I am a Specialty.
