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 (D) on Thursday, January 25. 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. The prize was presented to Rosa Eskelund by Eva Kähler-Theuerkauf on behalf of the IPM organization in the BIZZ Holland stand.
