IFTEX 2022 was much-needed for the floral supply chain, especially after two years break due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a breeder, it was intriguing to meet and interact with different stakeholders within the supply chain, while showcasing some of our novelties both from our standard and spray assortment.
The following are the top 5 varieties both from standard and spray roses categories, which gained a lot of traction during this year’s IFTEX.
