Penza, 19 February 2013. PenzaNews. Around 20 thousand rose seedlings are planned to be planted on 1,5 hectares in a greenhouse in Narovchat, the Penza region in the nearest future. This was announced by the manager of the greenhouse Veniamin Mukashev.

He said that three varieties of classic red rose are projected for cultivation.

“First we plant the roses in the trays, then plant them out to their permanent place. First flowers will appear only in the second half of April,” he clarified.
