The roses are bred by Rosa Eskelund and are cut flowers with the appearance of a garden rose. "The roses are long lasting and some have a spectacular green centre and are even scented" she says.

Not only in Scandinavia, but all over the world she recognizes a demand. At the Nordic Flower Show, that took place last week, some growers from Africa and South America showed their interest in the flowers. "The Viking roses are meant for exclusive growers", Rosa says.

After breeding and selecting, all Viking roses are tested in open air before they enter the test greenhouse in Holland. From Holland bud woods or cuttings are send out to growers worldwide for testing or production. At the moment, the roses are grown and tested in The Netherlands, Kenya, Ethiopia, Colombia and Ecuador.
