Rose

A perennial cash flower crop grown through PQNK's closed-loop, no-external-input system.

Rose grown under PQNK

Overview

Rose responds well to soil regeneration and thrives under closed-loop PQNK management, in place of the synthetic fertilizers, hormones and chemical pest control that conventional rose farming typically relies on.

PQNK Practices Applied

  • One-time hardpan breaking to 18–24 inches for rose's strong, branching root system
  • Soil pH corrected to 6.0–7.0 — the range roses prefer for vibrant blooms and healthy foliage
  • Jantar (Sesbania) grown and mulched in place before planting, as the system's only fertility input
  • Two rows per 42-inch permanent bed, no-till planted through the mulch — roughly 8,712 plants per acre

Results & Testimony

Projected cut-flower yield on this 8,712-plants-per-acre design rises from 15,000–25,000 stems per acre in years 1–2 while the planting establishes, to 60,000–85,000 in year 3's first meaningful harvest, reaching 130,000–170,000+ stems per acre by years 4–5 once the system is fully sustained.
