Previous story

In the winter of 2003, one of our customers approached us and said that he had launched the “WIMI” rose – named after the famous folk actor Willy Millowitsch – in 1982 and that they would like to repeat this in 2005 with a prominent personality.


We were looking for a woman who is a well-known international personality and, if possible, should also come from the customer’s regional environment.


The choice quickly fell on Heidi Klum, who agreed enthusiastically after a few conversations and and we contacted herfather if he is interested in a rose for Heidi Klum

On May 23, 2005, the rose baptism took place, which Heidi Klum attended in person despite her pregnancy.

In the run-up, of course, there were -zig things to organize.

The Heidi Klum Rose was placed as an ad in three newspapers and also distributed as a flyer with thousands of roses before the actual rose naming ceremony.
