A rose is not simply made.
It is chosen.
Cut. Joined. Trusted to heal.
In grafting, the hand makes a wound with purpose. The selected variety is placed against the rootstock with precision, and then nature does what only nature can do: it stitches the two together.
Each team grafts thousands of plants a day, yet every cut still matters. Every scion must be placed correctly. Every union must be clean. Every plant must be given the chance to become what it was selected to be.
This is precision at a scale rarely seen in roses.
More than propagation, it is a quiet collaboration between human skill and the living intelligence of the plant.
Craftsmanship. Patience. Creation.

A study in form and variation.
What makes a rose recognizable?
Perhaps it is not one familiar silhouette. Cupped, quartered, spiraled or openā€¦each bloom presents a different expression of the same flower.
The rose is not one form.
It is the possibility of many.

A study in form and beauty.
What do we admire in a rose?
Perhaps it is not one perfect shape, but its ability to become many, folded, open, sculptural, delicate, each form offering a different expression of beauty.
White does not simplify the rose. It clarifies it. Color recedes, and form is revealed.

The next generation is never created by following the last.

Since 1962, four generations of the Ilsink family have devoted themselves to imagining what a rose might become. What began in a 50-square-meter greenhouse in the Netherlands grew into one of the worldā€™s most influential breeding programs, pioneering the modern spray rose and continually reshaping the possibilities of color, form and performance.

That spirit can be seen in ExplorerĀ®. Its deep red color, commanding form and vase life of approximately 15 to 18 days have made it an increasingly important variety among growers and floral professionals in Ecuador and Colombia. It is a rose created not only to make an impression, but to sustain one.

Yet perhaps Interplantā€™s greatest distinction is its refusal to accept a familiar shape as the final expression of a rose.

From the sculptural character of TrendsetterĀ® and FlowĀ®, to the remarkable ruffled genetics behind the Ā® collection, Interplant has spent decades developing forms the market had not yet learned to request. The ruffled trait itself was first identified in 1990 and patiently refined for years before entering its cut-flower breeding program.

Their innovation reaches into the garden as well, where the Babylon EyesĀ® family carries the distinctive central eye inherited from Rosa persica, genetics that appear almost painted by hand.

We recognize what stands behind these creations: generations of observation, disappointment, perseverance and imagination. A lifetime of dedication invested not merely in producing another rose, but in expanding what a rose can be.

Interplantā€™s words are more than a signature.

We create the next generation.

They are a promise, renewed with every cross.

Since 1906, Rosen Tantau has devoted itself to one of horticultureā€™s greatest pursuits: transforming possibility into permanence. More than a century of breeding has taught a simple truth, that extraordinary roses are never discovered by chance. They are earned through patience, discipline, and the unwavering commitment to improve upon every generation that came before.

From the legendary FreedomĀ®, widely regarded as one of the worldā€™s most influential red cut roses, to a remarkable collection of garden roses admired across continents, Rosen Tantau has helped shape the language of modern roses. Every introduction represents years of crossing, evaluation, and selection, where countless seedlings yield only a precious few worthy of carrying the Tantau name.

Breeders like Jens KrĆ¼ger continue that tradition today, proving that the finest genetics are not created in a moment of inspiration, but through years of observation, refinement, and respect for the craft.

At Francis Roses, we have long admired Rosen Tantau can be defined by a legacy of craftsmanship, stewardship, and the quiet conviction that natureā€™s greatest works deserve a lifetime of dedication.

Because true masterpieces are never rushed.

Some roses become admired. Others become timeless.

Long before White Oā€™HaraĀ® became one of the worldā€™s most celebrated garden and cut roses, it was simply a seedling among thousands.

At Georges Delbard, generations have understood that beauty cannot be manufactured. It is patiently discoveredā€¦one cross, one season, one evaluation at a time. Years of breeding, observation, and unwavering discipline transform possibility into permanence.

The same hands and philosophy have given the world extraordinary roses including Maurice UtrilloĀ®, Marc ChagallĀ®, Alfred SisleyĀ®, Julie AndrewsĀ®, Cathedral BellsĀ®, and Moonlight in ParisĀ®. Each carrying forward a legacy built not in years, but across generations.

Beyond roses, that same dedication has shaped remarkable fruit varieties, a reminder that true breeders are not chasing trends. They are preserving genetics, advancing nature, and creating living works that will outlast them.

This is the heritage we admire most. Not simply the roses themselves, but the patience required to create them.

Because the finest varieties are never an accident.

They are a familyā€™s lifeā€™s work.

Unwavering dedication begins long before a rose ever blooms.

Every rose we introduce is the culmination of years of patient observation, relentless evaluation, and thousands of difficult decisions. From hundreds of thousands of seedlings, only a remarkable few will earn the privilege of moving forward.

Each selection is guided by skilled artisans who follow a rose from its very first leaves through years of trials, across continents, and ultimately to final evaluations in Colombia. There, only the exceptional remain.

The moment a rose is chosen for the market is more than a milestone, itā€™s the celebration of years of craftsmanship, discipline, and belief in what could be. It must not simply be beautiful. It must surpass everything that came before it.

Because true innovation isnā€™t about creating more.

Itā€™s about creating better.

Our unwavering commitment, often a decade or more of breeding, evaluating, and refining before a single rose is ready for the world.

We donā€™t simply grow roses. We preserve extraordinary genetics, build upon generations of expertise, and cultivate exceptional varieties destined to inspire gardens for generations to come.
