VENDOR APPLICATION

GENERAL REGULATIONS

VENDOR AGREEMENT

Request a Breeder Code & Generic Name Authorization

The American Rose Society was appointed as the International Registration Authority for Roses (IRAR) in 1955 by the International Horticulture Congress. In 1978, the Convention of the International Union for the Protection of New Plant Varieties in Geneva Switzerland voted that each new rose variety registered be given a unique descriptor, the code name, to clearly identify the plant whatever the final name given the rose for sale to the public. This code name was intended to become the designated ‘variety denomination’ within the formal registration process.

Code names are typically a combination of the first three letters of the breeder’s name or company followed by additional letters descriptive of the specific rose variety. The assignment of code names enhances the ability to search for roses from a specific breeder. Amateur breeders are required to establish their unique three letter code for use in the registration of their roses. Prior to requesting a specific three letter code, please review the list of existing breeder codes to avoid duplication and delays in the registration process.
