Plant’n’Relax®

A new Danish garden rose took Germany by storm when rose experts from around the world gathered in Baden-Baden to vote for the best looking, healthiest and most beautiful rose. The name of the gold-winning rose is ‘Plant’n’relax I am grateful’  and grateful is just what Rosa and Harley Eskelund from Roses Forever is after the award ceremony, which took place in the beautiful rose garden ‘Rosenneuheitengarten Beutig’ in Baden-Baden.

Every year an international competition for new garden roses is held in the garden, where rose breeders from all over the world can submit their new varieties from the breeding. A carefully selected jury of rose specialists from around the world judge the new roses four times a year over two years, giving points of rose growth, flowering, health and fragrance.

Winning a gold medal in this garden is very important for a successful market introduction, and Rosa Eskelund from the family-owned Danish rose breeding company, Roses Forever, could proudly step onto the podium and receive the medal. “We have been looking very much forward to today and are very happy – and grateful! It means a lot to us that this very healthy and strong rose wins a gold medal.”

Plant’n’relax I am grateful has big beautiful flowers in large bunches. Each flower has an extra-long life, even in rainy weather. It is a floribunda rose that is healthy with ongoing flowering. The rose is developed in Denmark by Rosa Eskelund, the world’s only female rose breeder. Rosa has developed new varieties of garden roses since 2004. It takes about 8-10 years to develop a new garden rose. Plant’n’relax garden roses is produced on license agreements all over the world.

 

Plant’n’Relax® is a new series of very beautiful garden roses developed by the Danish rose breeder Rosa Eskelund. Plant’n’Relax® is the first garden rose series from Roses Forever, and the roses have been tested in both the Nederland’s and in Denmark since 2004.
The roses are ideal for forcing in pots and some are also suitable for growing on own roots.
The Plant’n’Relax® roses are linked together in a series despite their differences in growth and height, but what keeps them together is the strong health and the names like “Lady in red”, “From far away” and “Never ending story”. Well known titles – but never before seen on garden roses. The conceptual look of the brand is focused on the modern end consumer that wants to just plant and relax!
