From the Peace rose to the revolutionary Knock Out® and Drift® Roses, The Conard-Pyle Co. has been a pioneer in the field of plant development and introduction for more than 100 years.  Founded in 1897 as a retail mail order firm specializing in roses, The Conard-Pyle Co., has evolved from a wholesale container nursery to a leading genetics company involved directly in breeding roses, perennials and woody plants, and introducing plants from other breeders around the world.

Over 75 years ago, Robert Pyle laid the foundation that still exists at The Conard-Pyle Co. today. A beautiful garden begins with exceptional plants. By establishing friendships with nurseries and hybridizers all over the world, Pyle expanded our horticultural palette. These friendships have allowed us to work with some of the world's most innovative nurseries to introduce plants that have passed the ultimate test — the rigorous American climate.
