Kordes Information
Passionate Gardeners:
Thank you for your interest in Kordes’ rose varieties. For many
years, Kordes® roses were just not available in North America. Now, more
and more are! The alphabetical list on last page is a summary of the dedicated
rose companies who have begun to offer our newer varieties via mail
order and to selected garden centers. Please contact them for further information.
In this brochure you will fi nd more information on Kordes and the
splendid Kordes’ varieties. Kordes® Roses from Newfl ora
The most beautiful Roses of the World
That is the promising slogan of the rose nursery Kordes since the
foundation of the family fi rm in 1887. W. Kordes’ Söhne is now successfully
managed by the fourth generation and due to its constant investments and expansion
has achieved a leading place amongst the worlds‘ important rose breeders.
Rose Breeding
Before introducing a new variety, its merits are carefully evaluated for such qualities
as color, size, form, vase life, productivity, disease-resistance and fragrance. The
W. Kordes‘ Söhne rose breeding program is one of the largest in the world.
Every year more than 100.000 fl owers using over 3.000 different combinations are
hand pollinated at the Kordes nursery. The seeds are harvested and planted and
yield more than half a million seedlings. From this multitude of new roses, several
thousand selections receive further evaluation and trialing.
For garden roses, this trialing for disease resistance, fragrance, fl owering and vigor
usually takes a minimum of seven years. Yearly, for each of the classifi cations, only 5
to 7 new varieties meet the high standards for being selected for introduction.
The vision
A rising environmental consciousness towards greater sustainability led to a new
focus at the breeding department of W. Kordes’ Söhne in the late 80ies.
Innovation, motivation and modern research methods enabled KORDES to establish a
new breeding line after a short period. This vision is the basis of KORDES continued
success. The trail fi elds of today show a multitude of very healthy roses which are
grown without any application of chemicals.
These new collections meet the demand for fl oriferous, colorful rose varieties with
excellent disease-resistance:
ADR-Label
The breeding efforts of KORDES are confi rmed by the ADR (Allgemeine Deutsche
Rosenneuheitenprüfung), which is one of the most severe trials for rose novelties
world wide. Independent examiners evaluate new varieties in 11 trial stations situated
throughout Germany.
Qualities such as resistance against disease, winter-hardiness, abundance of fl owers,
fl ower form, fragrance and growth habit are scored. No plant protection sprays are
used during the 3 year evaluations.
The ADR-designation is one of the highest awards a rose variety can
attain. Of 102 rose varieties which have received the ADR designation
since the year 2000, 42 roses are bred by KORDES.

ADR-Rosen
ADR – the name
ADR stands for Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung, where new rose varieties are rigorously
tested without sprays for three years in eleven locations throughout Germany. Only varieties
that have demonstrated excellent disease resistance and great garden performance can receive the
ADR designation. The good health of ADR designated roses translates to care free roses for consumers
and commercial landscaping purposes.
ADR - the goals
The goal of the ADR program is simple – give gardeners care free roses to enjoy. In
addition to testing new rose varieties for disease resistance under the challenging
Northern European climate; the ADR-competition additionally evaluates such
qualities as winter-hardiness, abundance of bloom, fl ower color, fl ower form,
fragrance, plant vigor, resistance to pests, and growth habit. However, the
resistance to diseases is the most important criteria evaluated. Unlike most
trial programs worldwide, no sprays are used in the ADR trials.
Since the beginning of the ADR program over sixty years ago, more than
1500 varieties from various rose breeders around the world have been
submitted and evaluated. To date, only 144 varieties have been decorated
with the ADR-label. Of the total, the Kordes® rose breeding program has
won more ADR certifi cates than any other breeder.
ADR - the institution
The ADR evaluations are the result of collaboration between independent gardens,
the German Nursery Growers Association, the German Plant Breeder’s Rights offi ce,
and rose breeders. The innovation and professionalism of the program has earned respect worldwide, and perhaps the
‘no spray’ model will become the standard for programs everywhere.

History of Kordes Roses
over 120 years of experience with roses
W. Kordes’ Söhne
Located in Elmshorn, a small town north of Hamburg, Germany, the
original rose nursery W. KORDES’ SÖHNE was founded in 1887 by
Wilhelm Kordes I at the age of 22 years old.
Initially, the nursery focused on production of rose plants, however
Wilhelm Kordes I was known as a leading rose expert of his time and
collected roses from many sources for propagation.
The company prospered and in 1918 relocated to an old farm in Sparrieshoop,
where it continues today. The second generation of the
family, Wilhelm II and Hermann Kordes began working alongside their
father.
While his brother Hermann focused on marketing and production,
Wilhelm II began a program to breed new rose varieties in 1920. For
example, ’Crimson Glory’ (1935) was one of a number of worldwide
successes.
The collaboration of the two brothers resulted in the continued expansion
of the production until it reached over one million plants yearly
in the late 1930’s.
During the 1950’s and 1960’s the company continued to expand with
new greenhouses, modern cold storage facilities, and increasing production
of garden roses. During the sixties, when the 3rd generation in
person of Reimer Kordes, Hermann Kordes II, and Werner Kordes began
management of the company, plant production reached a peak of more
than 4 million roses a year – and W. Kordes’ Söhne was one of the
leading rose nurseries in Europe.
Widely known roses developed by Kordes during this period include:
’Schneewittchen® (Iceberg)’ (1958), ’Lilli Marleen®’ (1959) , ’Sympathie’
(1964) , ’Königin der Rosen’ (Color Wonder) (1964) and ’Westerland®’
(1969).
The baptism of a rose is always an exciting event for the company:
In 1979 a yellow Hybrid Tea rose was baptized with the name of
Helmut Schmidt, the Federal German Chancellor at this time with
much fanfare.
Meanwhile, a breeding program of greenhouse cut rose varieties was
initiated at the company. The legendary ‘Mercedes’, introduced in
1974 brought KORDES into a leading position on international cut
rose market. During this period, the establishment of plant breeder’s
rights helped breeders insure their returns from breeding programs.

History of Kordes Roses
With the well-known varieties as ’Friesia’ (Sunsprite) (1973) and
’Rosarium Uetersen’ (1977) the success of the traditional company
KORDES was going on in the 70ies. In the 80’s roses were very
popular in public landscaping and KORDES’ varieties like ’Sommerwind’
(1985) and ’Palmengarten Frankfurt’ (1988) became outstanding
varieties.
The 4th generation of the Kordes’ family; Wilhelm Kordes III, Bernd
Helms-Kordes, and Tim-Hermann Kordes began management of the
company in 1988. Currently, John Kordes of the 5th generation is
working in the company to gain experience.
KORDES is rich in tradition and so the success of their fathers and
grandfathers continues with the sons. The new rose assortments
of the Fairy Tale, Vigorosa® and Climbing Max® collections have
become established successes in the market.
Currently, the company employs 150 people for production, sales,
and new variety development. Annually, more than 2 million garden
rose bushes are grown and sold at the main facility in Sparrieshoop.
Development of new garden rose varieties is focussed on disease resistance
to limit the need for pesticides. Breeding and selection of new
varieties takes place in over 2 ha (5 acres) of greenhouses and 60 ha
(150 acres) outdoors. The actual production of garden rose bushes
occurs on 60 ha and is done by Kordes’ itself and other local nurseries.
Garden roses are not only sold in Germany but worldwide.
For trials and introduction of new cut rose varieties the branch
company ‘Interrose’ was founded in 1974 in The Netherlands. The
subsidiary ‘Kordes Roses International’ is specialised in the production
of young plants for cut rose production. In response to the demands
of the growing rose industry KORDES expanded its testing of cut rose
varieties to the African continent by founding ‘Kordes Roses East
Africa’ in Kenya. Since 2005 the company ‘Kreative Roses’ produces
cut roses on a production area of 16 ha. Agencies in more than 30
countries around the world support the marketing and the introduction
of new rose varieties.

Hybrid Tea Collection - superiority in health
Hybrid Tea roses are often identifi ed as
the idyllic rose; they possess inescapable
beauty and charm. Their large, mostly
doubled, high-centred fl owers are born
individually on long stems or several in
large trusses. The height, however, can
differ due to variety, location and season.
The scent of these treasures varies
as wildly as their vast expressions in
colour. In their class, this special select
of KORDES hybrid tea roses below, all
share superiority in health.
