Our History

The story of Jan Spek Rozen begins in 1890, when Jan Spek established his nursery in Boskoop, Netherlands. What started as a small family operation has grown into a renowned name in rose breeding and cultivation, spanning four generations of dedication and expertise.

Through the decades, our family has witnessed the evolution of rose cultivation, from traditional methods to modern breeding techniques. Each generation has brought new innovations while honoring the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined our founding principles.

From cypresses and blue spruce in our early years, to rhododendrons and azaleas, we have always been at the forefront of horticultural excellence. Today, we focus exclusively on roses, combining 135 years of experience with cutting-edge breeding programs to create varieties that set industry standards.

Our journey from a local nursery to an international rose breeder reflects our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. We have built relationships with growers, agents, and rose enthusiasts worldwide, always maintaining the family values that have guided us since 1890.
