Thomas Proll – Rose Breeder

Thomas Proll is one of the world’s top rose breeders, working for German company Kordes whose new varieties come out top in trials again and again. He talks to us about the company’s long history of innovation and shares with us what’s going at the cutting edge, the successes and challenges, and at how changing fashions, and garden management techniques inevitably have had an impact. A fascinating look into our ongoing relationship with what has historically been our most important garden plant.
