De Kwakel, November 2024 – Early October Jaap Stelder of Agriom visited several growers in Ecuador who are testing Lovely Temptation. ,,Lovely Temptation is a new variety of WAC International”, he explains. ,,It is a beautiful, bright red, large-flowered rose that does not turn black under high UV exposure. The initial reports, that I’m hearing, are impressive. Trials turn out very positive and producers are responding enthusiastically.”
Growers from both Colombia and Ecuador are actively supplying large-flowered roses to U.S./European wholesale and bouquet channels. Lovely Temptation is particularly well-suited for both markets.
Martin Yepes, representing WAC, is providing interested producers with budwood to facilitate further trialing. Contact Martin at gerencia@floria.co.
