| Progress in many fields of rose research continues all over the world
so that it is time once again to gather and share research results and
ideas with our colleagues. From breeding and genetics to economics and
marketing, from propagation and production techniques to postharvest practices
and physiology, from biotechnology and crop modeling to disease and pest
resistance and management, all aspects of rose research are expected to
be represented at the symposium. Information on cut, garden, and pot roses
will be included. Oral and Poster presentation sessions are planned in
an intimate setting with plenty of time for interaction with colleagues,
old and new. A mid-week professional tour and a post-symposium tour will
afford you unique opportunities to see cut and pot rose production sites
and a tour of the research field in Suntory Ltd. and a chance to come in
contact with Japanese culture(Japanese gardens and arts) in Kyoto. |
