Yet, the Danish rose breeder Rosa Eskelund was asked to develop a new rose to celebrate the Rose Festival in Lottum.
Minister of Limburg Mr. Ger Koopmans, received a banner with the secret name brought to him by a drone, and the new rose was revealed and baptized in pink champagne in front of hundreds of people interested in roses, from both the Netherlands and Germany.
"We received many compliments on the rose and are very proud and grateful that we were asked to create a rose for this occasion - especially in Holland," said Harley and Rosa Eskelund.
Directly in this area of the Netherlands is the largest garden rose production and many producers from the area attended the baptism of the new Plant’n’relax® So much love™ rose, which is part of the series of healthy garden roses, where the consumer can simply plant and relax. Just as the name says - Plant'n'relax.
Harley and Rosa Eskelund have already welcomed several requests for a license to grow the rose, that is easy to grow both budded or on own roots.

Rosa's advice on garden roses
- You can plant both bare-rooted and potted garden roses in your garden.
- The bare-rooted roses should be planted in November-March.
- Potted garden roses can be planted in both the spring, summer and fall.
- Roses like sunshine, space around them and good soil.
- The roses need fertilizer 4 times in the growing season.
- Cut the roses at the beginning of April when the frost is over.
- Pruning will keep the roses beautiful and healthy for many years.
The garden rose ”So much love” was baptized in pink champagne by Danish rose breeders Harley and Rosa Eskelund, together with Dutch minister Ger Koopmans and Rose Queen Suzanne Verhaegh-Seuren from Lottum.
