ROSE BREEDING<br />

Breeding of garden roses is much like creating a<br />

work of art – it requires time, patience and<br />

knowledge, but the final result is an unrepeatable<br />

masterpiece. In Pheno Geno Roses d.o.o., we rely on<br />

science to help us create new varieties with<br />

extraordinary new qualities that go beyond just the<br />

aesthetic value. This is the reason we have decided<br />

to invest in marker-assisted breeding. The first<br />

results of this investment can be found in our<br />

Winterjewel ® Collection developed by using MAS, a<br />

feature that makes these roses unique.<br />

Another project that we are also very proud of<br />

focuses on introducing rose petals and hips as novel<br />

source of food. Equally interesting is our research<br />

of fragrance and essential oils in rose flowers. Other<br />

projects we are currently working on include, among<br />

others, disease resistance project and stress tolerant<br />

roses for urban consumers.<br />
