About us

As you can see from the name we are a family business. In 1975 Sjaak began cultivating roses in Den Hoorn together with his wife Cleta.

In 1992 they moved to North Limburg with their four children. There they continued with a new business, that has now expanded to about 6 ha, spread over two rose- and helleborus nursery’s and a plant nursery close to each other.
We run the business with the whole family. Each of the three sons, Mark, Koen and Paul, is responsible for a nursery. The shop at the house is developed by Kim. The administration is organised by daugther Linda and daughters-in-law Kim and Dorothea.

Employees

But we can’t do that alone! The company has about 55 full and part timers working. In addition there are about 70  students for the weekends and holidays.

It is family business where cooperation, handicraft and quality are of the highest priority. The two rose- and helleborus nursery’s follow the guidelines of MPS-A+ and MPS-GAP. In all locations considerable experience has been since gained with integrated crop protection. In this as much as possible use is made of organic enemies such as the predatory mite. We participate in the promotion project of the Dutch rose: Rosebrandt.

Rose cultivation

At each farm, roses are cultivated, creating the perfect growing conditions for producing high-quality roses. The roses are grown in a gentle manner, resulting in beautiful, robust roses.

Our farms focus on a surprising and innovative assortment. We are fully committed to long-lasting, beautiful large-flowered and spray roses in a variety of colors and shapes that are less susceptible to mildew and pests.

Quality has the highest priority in all departments of the operations. This all aims at the consumer enjoying our roses to the greatest extent possible.

Our roses and helleborus are sold at the auctions of FloraHolland, where they are delivered fresh daily. In addition you can buy our roses in our shop.
