In Heist, Northern Germany – part of one of the largest contiguous tree nursery regions in Europe – you’ll find Helmut Röttger Baumschulen. For over 50 years, this family-run nursery has grown high-quality roses and perennials for the professional green retail sector. What sets them apart is their wide range of roses from leading breeders – including David Austin®, Flower Carpet® (Noack) and the unique Taste of Love® collection.

Taste of Love® roses are both aromatic and edible. Each plant comes with an elegant label including a recipe, and the brand is extended with in-house rose-based products like jelly, syrup, chutney and even rose ketchup. This concept blends ornamental value with culinary delight – a perfect fit for retailers seeking unique experiences.

Röttger offers both bare root and container-grown roses (4 to 25 litres). The assortment is complemented by a growing selection of perennials, summer bloomers and grasses – always in line with the demands of the green market. Rare or unusual species are also included. Thanks to a smart shipping cooperation with Zorn Baumschulen, customers can receive a complete assortment – from roses to fruit and shrubs – in one go.

Customer service is a true strength at Röttger. Weekly updated offer lists, optional logistics, pre-priced labels and EAN coding make the order process smooth and efficient. “We deliver vital plants at exactly the right moment,” the team says. “With flexibility, precision and passion.”

A visit to the nursery reveals what it’s all about: quality, innovation and long-term customer relationships.
