Why PRO rootstocks
More on every stem.
A PRO rootstock puts a stronger root system under the variety you already grow — so the plant produces more, feeds more easily, and stands up better to stress. Same crop, bigger harvest.
At least 10% more — and often much more
Trialled side by side with Natal Briar in Kenya and Ecuador, 39 of 45 varieties produced more stems on ProTatu — a median of +20.4%. On the farm, ProRoot growers see at least 10% more, counted stem by stem.
The benefit of CO₂, without the investment
The extra vigour works like CO₂ enrichment — more growth, more kilos — but it comes from the root, not from capital equipment. No enrichment plant to build or run.
Healthier, less-stressed plants
Because the crop establishes and feeds more easily, it carries less stress — and growers report fewer stress-related problems, including reduced Agrobacterium. A field observation across many farms, not a laboratory claim.
A faster cycle
On ProTatu the cycle runs faster — on average about a week per six months — so the plant comes back to harvest sooner.
The logical upgrade from Natal Briar
Keep the varieties your buyers want; change only what’s beneath them. Reliable, in production for years, backed by 40 years of PRO breeding.
Sustainable by Nature
More crop from the same farm means a smaller footprint behind every stem — the same land and houses simply carry more roses. Buyers increasingly ask about the environmental footprint of the flowers they buy, and a bigger harvest from the same ground is a better answer to give them.
And it fits the farm you already have — a bigger crop simply eats a little more. We supply the rootstocks, not the farming advice, but growers have shared what works for them: their feeding notes are here — observations, not a recipe.
