Ecuador  Roses

All of our Ecuador roses are organicaly grown with no use of pesticides! They are available from this site.   We have developed a partnership with one of the larger rose farms in Ecuador and we will be shipping the flowers directly from there to your home or business. We will have our Fedex machine in the farm’s cold room and pack the flowers right there.  It’s actually two farms in one. Farm #1 is located just outside Cayambe, north of Quito, it’s about 20 hectares (48 acres) of land with 10 hectares (24 acres) in production. As you can see, this is a big operation.

Farm #2 is two miles from farm #1,   The second farm has 8 hectares (about 20 acres) in production.

The combined production is over 30,000 roses per day.

Both farms employ some 320 people. They have been in the market since 1986 being one of the first Ecuador rose farms to export fresh cut roses. Each day the staff cuts the roses for orders.

They are then graded and packed in this room.

They are packed in batches of 25 roses like these below. These wrapped batches are placed in a preservative solution and stored overnight in a cold room.

The solution and chill sets the rose petals, reduces bacteria that would caused early aging and puts the fresh rose into a state of suspended animation that keeps until the roses are unpacked and placed in luke warm water… which will cause them to open like this.

The next morning, a refrigerated truck drives into the cold store… picks up the roses and delivers them to Quito Airport where they are flown to Miami and placed in a Fedex cold store.  They are then flown that night to a Fedex distribution center and placed on a Fedex truck for final delivery…usually within four days of being cut!   Most stores receive there roses in 8-10 days from being cut, what a difference it makes in the life of your rose!

This partnership means we have complete control of the quality of the flowers and much more availability.  We do not have not to worry about mistakes at packing or problems with the roses.  The system works well  since Fedex delivers to any US zip code.

Roberto our supplier will be on the spot to provide oversight over the quality.

It doesn’t get any better for quality and service since Roberto gets to see the flowers himself.  Plus he will be going to the airport before we ship the flowers to make sure that everything is great.
