KORDES IN THE 21st CENTURY

• In 1990 Kordes made the decision that all garden roses should be naturally healthy and disease resistant. This decision led to having all of the trial fields for garden roses being managed and then evaluated without the applications of fungicides

• With the death of Wilhelm III in 2016, a 5th generation of Kordes have joined the family business.

• Kordes markets roses in more than 30 countries around the world and they are now readily available in the United States.
