'Gretel' rose Reviews & Comments

I'm really pleased with this rose. It makes nice sprays that are colorful -- due to the changing color with sun exposure -- and it has really nice foliage -- very shiny and healthy, ala Playboy. I have been recommending it to others since receiving mine from Chamblees last year.

Hi,
While there is a rose KORumneza this seedling number is in error. Kordes has not released this rose and it has never been offered for sale commercially in the world, so the date of 2002 is incorrect and troubling information. Having this on the internet will cause problems with patent filing in N. America. Where was this information obtained? Can you remove it from the site?
Thanks,
Chris Pellett Newflora North American Representative for Kordes

The concern was with the company's ability to patent the rose and legally collect royalties, not with the "public's welfare", Andrea. Patent laws state you have one year from the "public introduction" of a plant to patent it and demand royalties for its production. Public introduction can mean as little as posting a photo of it on line with any information that specifically identifies the plant. Patent Office employees are very well versed in internet searches.

This rose is listed as Fire Opal Kolorscape and is for sale online by Chamblee's.
