In the past year, plant specialists from Signify have been working intensively with a research group consisting of professionals from the growing industry, academic field and public sectors. They cooperated to develop a dedicated light recipe with a LED spectrum for cut roses. The new cut rose spectrum has been developed specifically to grow high yields of top-quality roses in full LED in Western European climate conditions.

“The results we saw during our research to develop the ultimate rose spectrum, are now also being replicated at Porta Nova,” said Udo van Slooten, Business Leader Horticulture at Signify. “This is clear proof that the new toplighting with dedicated rose spectrum lives up to its promise and can be utilized at a much larger scale.”
