Meet the Healthiest Roses in the World and the Breeder who Creates Them!
Join us on Sunday March 16 at 2:00 pm when Kordes Rose Breeder Extraordinaire Thomas Proll will join us LIVE from Sparrieshoop, Germany. Learn how he creates some of the most exceptional roses you will ever grow, and how you can incorporate more of these healthy beauties into your own garden. Get up close and personal with all of your favorite, healthy Kordes favorites, and learn about some of the newer stars coming out of the house of Kordes.
If you are growing roses “without chemicals” in our challenging climate, then you probably have Thomas Proll to thank. Kordes Roses has been producing some of the healthiest, award winning roses in the world for decades, and they continue to lead the industry in breeding for disease resistance: https://www.rosen.de/en . This program will feature plenty of wonderful images, and you will have the opportunity to ask detailed questions about these Kordes beauties so that you can better incorporate them into your own garden.
Thomas Proll was born in Barmstedt, Germany, not far from the W. Kordes & Sons headquarters that would, in time, become the home base of his illustrious career. He completed his studies at the University of Hanover, where he qualified in Horticultural Sciences, producing his thesis on Resistance and Susceptibility of Rosa Species and Hybrids to Powdery Mildew. Thomas has worked with Kordes Roses for nearly 30 years, and is now in charge of their world renown breeding department.
REGISTRATION FOR THIS PROGRAM WILL REMAIN OPEN THROUGH MARCH 15. Attendance is limited to 100, so register early to avoid disappointment.
