The Szőregi Virág-Dísznövény ÁFÉSZ started budding 133 varieties in 2005, in limited numbers, in order to establish the background of a considerable production. Since both firms were about to approach the Hungarian wholesalers, retailers and rose lovers first, so an event was organized in June 2006, where everybody, even the producers were able to learn the detailes of the breeding philosophy and the market policy of Poulsen Roser A/S. They aim at certain principles defined in advance, which make sure that the selection of their varieties will cover all possible usage of roses. So, they introduced a much higher number of categories to classify their roses than usual. These categories help the customers to find the roses they need. The event was repeated in 2007, and the orders arrived after it resulted that that these roses were budded in considerable amounts.
It was the first time in 2008 when the exhibition of FLORALIA-BUDAPEST 2008, was organized in Hungary. Our firm built a rose garden from the varieties of Poulsen Roser A/S and a second prize were awarded in the "Quality of the Products" for our display.
