Garden rose: Rosa Hybrid Plant’n’Relax from Roses Forever ApS, Faaborg (DK), was awarded the Show Your Colours Award IPM 2024 during the IPM 2024 in Essen.
The Garden rose: Rosa Hybrid Plant'n'Relax presents itself as a gift, and the rack from which the rose grows shows at a glance that this is a climbing rose that can be used practically anywhere.
The promised fragrance of the flowers is more than delivered. The brand name tells exactly what the intention is with this product: plant & relax,, according to the professional jury, which awarded the prize together with a public jury.
