FIND YOUR BLOOMATE: Lessons from the Philadelphia Flower Show Robin Jennings, Heirloom On this episode of the Rose Chat Podcast, host Teresa Byington chats with Robin Jennings, Senior Brand Marketing Manager at Heirloom Roses. Robin recaps Heirloom’s recent experience at the Philadelphia Flower and breaks down the questions they heard from new and non-rose growers reaching for their “perfect bloomate.”

From “Are roses hard to grow?” to “Which one won’t die on me?” Robin shares real conversations from the booth floor and unpacks what new gardeners are actually looking for. We’ll talk about the biggest misconceptions around roses, what traits beginners care about most, and how the industry can better guide first-time buyers.
