Some good news

Finally it has happened, budwood of 53 cultivars of my roses now sits in Belgium awaiting budding. This feels like a part of an incredible journey is halfway there with a lot more opportunities still waiting. It took from this Tues untill Thursday to get there , incredible.

well done

Thanks Jordan, you cannot believe how relieved I am getting the news all was well.

its great news , congratulations

Congratulations Ozroz

Sounds good. What an adventure.

Great news Ozroz. Good on you, may this be only the start of a wonderful adventure.

That's good news Warren. Are any of the Australian nurseries trialing your roses at the moment?

Thanks Doug, no one in this country was interested thats why when I given the opportunity to go to Europe I grabed it with both hands. I have roses in the trial garden in Adelaide though.

Ozroz, that is a lot of roses that you have bred yourself. What a achievement !

Warren that is disappointing to say the least. On the topic of breeding recently I had the opportunity of spending sometime with Tom Carruth the American hybridizer who has bred 13 AARS rose since 1997 and I found him very interesting.

Rosemeadow that is only 1/3 of which has been registered.

Hi everybody !
Today is a great day because Warren's buds are now in Europe ready for grafting.
Warren, our dream is going to come true so quickly ♥
I've learned today that End of August I'll be able to see the first flowers and most of all, to smell their perfume. You can imagine how an exciting moment it will be !
I'll even be able to plant some of them in my own garden in December; how incredible !
Bruno, Daniel and I have great ideas to promote your roses and you can be sure that they will become famous and not only in Belgium.
I would also like to thank this forum for making that possible and especially Neptune for posting all those photos of Warren's work (and Osboy for making me come back here).
Cheers,
Isabelle

Isabelle it is hard to believe all is starting to take shape, I have have a saying that on the great wheel of life things are meant to happen.

That's exactly it !

Warren

We are all hoping for a great result and somebody in the Australian Horticulture Industry to notice what great work you have been doing.

And for that glowing reference you owe me.

Gary

ozroz, what an awesome thing to happen to you, well done...

Thanks Gary and point taken LOL

Warren did you have any observe any protocols to send budwood to Belgium.

There is a lot Doug, I spent the whole day down in Melbourne. They went through Quarantine with big ticks and it looks like no trouble over there as well. There is a bit of paperwork to do with a few other things as well. As I said to the AQIS fellow next time it will be easier once you done it. Looks like you could call me a rose exporter now [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Was there a cost involved besides postage?
