Our researchers in Applied Genomics, Consumer Insights and Horticultural Production Systems work together to deliver innovative products and production solutions that address the needs of the horticulture industry and advance Canada's research and commercialization agenda. The rose breeding program at Vineland focuses on the development of black spot resistance screening techniques, breeding cold hardy roses for global markets and understanding consumer preference and markets for Canadian roses.
