Roses in Aspirational India

Abstract

With the high economic growth rate and GDP, it is now time for India on the World Stage. A young population with an average age of 28 years and a high disposable income with them will in the next years spend on Roses and other ornamental plants to decorate their homes. With the burgeoning middle and upper middle class, the country is seeing a strong movement towards nature and greenery in their homes and around the gated communities.

This will bring a new demand of Roses which will not be in the conventional style. For a billion plus population, is the Rose World geared up to serve this specific demand. The biggest and the most vibrant democracy will throw challenges hitherto not envisaged by the Rosarians, Hybridizers and Nurserymen.
