A new Danish garden rose took Germany by storm when rose experts from around the world gathered in Baden-Baden to vote for the best looking, healthiest and most beautiful rose.
Rose specialists from around the world celebrate Rosa Eskelunds garden rose "I am grateful" in the rose garden in Baden-Baden.
The name of the gold-winning rose is "Plant'n'relax® I am grateful™" - and grateful is just what Rosa and Harley Eskelund from Roses Forever are today, the day after the award ceremony, which took place in the beautiful rose garden "Rosenneuheitengarten Beutig" in Baden-Baden.
"I am grateful" won the gold medal in the German rose garden, and Rosa Eskelund was happy and proud to receive the medal.
Every year an international competition for new garden roses is held in the garden, where rose breeders from all over the world can submit their new varieties from the breeding. A carefully selected jury of rose specialists from around the world judge the new roses four times a year over two years, giving points for rose growth, flowering, health and fragrance.
"I am grateful" has big beautiful flowers in large bunches, with extra-long life, even in rainy weather.
Winning a gold medal in this garden is very important for a successful market introduction, and Rosa Eskelund from the family-owned Danish rose breeding company, Roses Forever, could proudly step onto the podium and receive the medal. "We have been looking forward to today very much and are very happy - and grateful! It means a lot to us that this very healthy and strong rose wins a gold medal.”
