Jan Spek Rozen was established 1890 by Jan Spek (see).
Jan Spek Rosen is one of the largest rose plant suppliers in The Netherlands -- 4.5 million plants to Dutch growers and another 500,000 plants are exported around the world.
Jan Spek Rozen is also one of the leading growers of cut roses. It's estimated that 10 out of every 12 roses sold at the Dutch flower auction are
Jan Spek introductions.
'Frisco' is the market-leader because of its long vase life and its ability to travel well -- a very important consideration for the international flower trade. In the last couple of years, many of
Jan Spek's top varieties have produced a number of sports, in different colors but with the same qualities as their parents.
