On January 1 , 2009 the brothers Michael and Dennis de Geus formally get going their new company Select Breeding , and they have been serious about it . Several number from their own breeding have made it as internationally get it on varieties , and both the mixed bag and their market presence are growing steadily . Dennis and Michael de Geus at the show nursery in NaivashaIn the early 80s , founder De Geus issue forth from Aalsmeer to Klazienaveen . A greenhouse area was develop here , and he started his own undercut rose nursery . In 2000 , they come out with some of their own training , first as a hobby , then increasingly more professionally . The difficult yr started in the Dutch cutting rebel diligence ; the roses had a operose time and yield shifted mostly to country in Africa . In 2008 , the plug for the output of gash rose was pulled in the De Geus house as well , but fortunately , it was potential to plug it in again immediately . cover in the greenhouse in Klazienaveen , with No Limit in the frontThe brothers picked up the business , restarted a rearing party , and score the hybridizing and selection track with double the energy . In 2010/11 they started with a little examination site in Ethiopia , and in 2012 the first smorgasbord , Secret Love , plump into commercial production in Ethiopia . A move to Naivasha , Kenya followed presently after . For the past four age , they have had 3000 m2 of show / breeding glasshouse at the Oserian Two Lakes Flower Park . In the meantime , a serial of varieties were introduce , including in 2014 the white Queen of Africa and two years afterwards the No Limit , a clean - pink bicolor developed specifically for the supermarket . Customization"Our philosophy is to aim the correct assortment with the right-hand growers , " Michael explain . " you could segment agriculturalist in Africa and South America , as it were , harmonise to their market and the altitude at which they are located . There are around three categories : around 1600 - 1700 time , around 2000 , and ( especially in South America ) 2400 meters and high . As you get higher you have higher radiation , but also colder night , for example . By developing variety show that are specifically tailor-make to these different zone , we are able-bodied to leave increasingly good customization . ““In the early age , we focused chiefly on African raiser in the facts of life broadcast . But since 2017 we have started a cooperation in Colombia and adjustments have been made in this computer program . Icon Selections entirely represents our roses here . Specific for this market is that they are very high there , sometimes even above 2800 meters . The market there demands high productions with expert duration , but the gamy actinotherapy and stale nights shorten the stems . A sort that does well there must therefore have a specific set of characteristics , for instance our orangeness rose Clementina , or the Gemstone and Golden State , two yellow varieties that we both introduced this class . “ClementinaAround the worldIn cooperation with De Ruiter , some first steps have also been taken in the Far East . For example , the first Taiwanese grower have planted the alone garden pink surface Eleanor . For the last two years , the brothers have also been work with Plantipp , which has enclose two varieties on their behalf in Europe , Japan and South Korea . The first is the yellow - red Twister Select , which is already being grown in the Netherlands , but is newfangled to the Asian food market . The second is a small - flowered Red River rose with a whitened heart , the Everglow Ruby . Everglow Ruby"Towards the future , we need to invest primarily in good partners . Nowadays you really ca n’t do it all by yourself , you have to build up a good web . That ’s unquestionably a focus . “AssortmentNew roses and introductions are being worked on . " We are now turn on a promising ruby-red rose , the Red Bentley . This is being quiz at five companies in Kenya , is already semi - commercial-grade , so to speak , and is in the final testing phase . Next natural spring , hopefully , there will be real numbers . “Red BentleyIn addition , the gentlemen are work out on an entirely unexampled addition , namely spray roses : " We do n’t have any varieties commercially in product yet but that is going to vary very soon . “Patio rosesBesides all these bloom , they are working on patio roses as well . " We see , in our European market , more and more interestingness uprise in cold greenhouse polish . This undoubtedly has to do with Energy Department cost and the uncertainties in this arena , so growing with less lighting and heating is interesting . The garden arise is an interesting possibility , especially since corona has late given this segment an tremendous boost . But we have been shape on it for much longer ; in 2014 , we did a first small debut , and now we have eight colors that are grow at six customer in the Netherlands , 1 in Belgium , 1 in the UK , and recently also 1 in Canada . These are large pot sizes , so - call ' floribunda ' , continuous - flowering , with flower diameters from 11 to 15 cm . This is going better than expect . It is still very former to say anything about this , but we are also working on small - bloom varieties , in smaller pot size , with a more summary increment and little flower . “Greenhouse with terrace rosesHome sweet-smelling homeThe upbringing of all varieties takes place in their own 5000m2 greenhouse in Klazienaveen . Here the crossing , seed yield , and the first and second survival cycle take place . The codes then travel around the world , after which they are tested for the last three yr under local term . Dennis has mainly sharpen on breeding and propagation , Michael is more commercial-grade and travels the worldly concern with great frequency . Propagation of the patio roses is part done in - house and part by third parties .
