Breeding Roses of the Future

Andrew Barocco will talk about how most roses we grow and use today are basically the descendants of 5 original species. Those 5 have given the extraordinary diversity we see today, so just imagine when we start to incorporate some of the untapped wild rose species out there that haven’t really been used yet (there are approximately 100 of them!)
