TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE EXTENSION SERVICE STATEWIDE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS TO INTRODUCE ITS NEWLY DESIGNATED EARTH-KIND® ROSES: MULTIYEAR IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Prepared by Dr. Steven George and Paul Winski Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service April 14, 2024
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RETAIL NURSERIES When To Release Names Of Newly Designated Earth-Kind® Roses To Your Customers So that Green Industry members in Texas can better plan and prepare, we feel that it is important for us to share with the industry the particular rose cultivars that will be featured in each of the three yearly campaigns. However, for retail nurseries, we would suggest that you do not share with your customers the entire three-year schedule in advance because that may encourage them to request cultivars that are not yet available. Instead, we recommend that you only release names of the cultivars to be featured in a given year at the campaign launch date for that particular year. This is also when you will hopefully have several of these newly designated Earth-Kind® roses available in your nursery.
