Breeder: Dr. David Zlesak

Way before he became a Professor of Horticulture, Dr. David Zlesak began breeding roses. Inspired by William Radler, who he considers to be his mentor, he has been breeding roses since he was a teenager. We are proud to have introduced the Pretty Polly® series, which is the first compact, zone 4 hardy, ever-blooming series of Polyanthas.
