Rose Breeding with Passion, Innovation, Involvement, and Quality

For almost sixty years now, we are experienced in the breeding of cut flower roses, both single heads, and spray (multi-headed) roses. Although Interplant is mainly known as the spray rose breeder, we develop a wide range of rose types such as (intermediate) hybrid-teas, garden shaped roses, and sweetheart roses. Good examples of upcoming HT-varieties are Goldfinch and Good Vibes. Classic hybrid-tea stars like Moonwalk and Explorer are still in high demand.

As for our spray roses, innovation is the keyword with so many new product lines such as the Trendsetters and the Flow Series. Each of these individually unique in its shape, color, growth, look and feel. The past decade our spray rose assortment has been broadened rapidly. A natural consequence also of the increased demand worldwide.

More than a Wedding Filler

The spray rose is no longer considered to be a wedding filler only, but a true, full-fledged, multi-purpose product. Besides the broader assortment, also the color palette and the overall quality of the spray rose has increased. Some upcoming rising spray stars are Impressionist, Flinders Lane, and Leila. Spray rose varieties that are already established and well recognized by the market can be found here.

Premium spray roses Premium Spray Roses have the same basic characteristics as Regular Spray Roses. The big difference is that they excel in some important traits. Premium Spray Roses have specific forms and are larger than normal flower sizes. They also distinguish themselves with diverse bud shapes, unique colors, and refined characteristics. Large flowers and limited releases add to the exclusive nature of our Premium Spray Roses. The flower production of our Premium collection of Spray Roses is always medium to low. That is why they are being released on a limited base to designated customers. Leila, Quincy, Gelato, Impressionist, Summerrose, Tanja

Regular spray roses Since the beginning of Spray Rose breeding, we have seen a steady rise in popularity for this special and elegant rose type. One striking element of this rose directly stands out: multiple rose blooms grow on a single branch. With intermediate stem lengths of about 60 to 70 centimeters and relatively small rose blooms, they have a very elegant appearance. As they normally grow 5 to 7 flowers per stem they will make a big impact in bouquets. Spray Roses come in all sorts of colors and shades. You will find Regular Spray Roses in mono and mixed bouquets and they also are great for luxury presentations and creations due to their multiple flowering blooms. Flinders Lane, Justine, Motown, Sancerre, Severina

Hybrid Tea Roses Hybrid Tea Roses are one of the most popular rose types in the world. The typical shape of a hybrid tea rose is a straight and upright long stem with a large flower. The bloom of a hybrid tea rose can be as large as 8 – 12 centimeters in diameter. The rose plant itself can grow as high as 1.7 meters although most hybrid teas have shorter stems for practical reasons varying between 70 and 90 centimeters. Due to its long stem and colorful blossoms, hybrid tea roses are ideally suited as cut flowers. Goldfinch, Orange Wave, Diablo, Good Vibes, Explorer, Royal Explorer, Hot Explorer, and Helene.
