Comment From Xpressions Flora, Kenya

Xpressions Flora, famous for the Omang and Amor rose brands, shared:

"We have trailed the new white rose Mont Royal from Spek Roses and the very first flowers we got in production excited us all. We feel that the pure white rose will be exciting for our clients for its elegance. A rose variety that holds its own from the time it has to be transported all the way to the vase, its endurance is enviable."

Most Important Constituents at the Time of Picking to Grow a New Rose

Although every time your eyes see a new rose and may immediately want to grow it, it may not always be the best case for your farm. These are the main and most important components to take into thought:

The productivity of a rose is what the plant produces. To analyze if you want to grow a new rose at 1,900 meters altitude in Naivasha, Kenya, it has to have a productivity of 200+ stems per m2 - around 2.3 flowers/plant/month - so it is profitable for a farm. From there, the positioning in the market is crucially important as well. For example, how long has it been in the market, the average price at which it is sold in the market, and also how many farms already have planted this variety.

When it comes to the lengths you're looking for in a rose, it all depends on the market you are selling to. For the European/American market, it would be best to focus on a variety that produces an average of 60-70cm stems.

Mont Royal transports very well. An important feature when your rose is a success and wanted all over the world. In the rawer stages, the tall head with its protective sepals is perfectly shaped alongside the petals for packing into boxes.

About the thorns; this is indicated as 'moderate'. So, it will not be too hard to get rid of, and hence a good choice for a florist.

Last but not least, Rose Mont Royal has a stupendous vase life, which is the final determining factor when choosing to grow a new rose on your farm. The vase life functions as a point to see how resistant the variety is.

"In our test greenhouses, the Mont Royal is growing well, has a nice transportable bud, good length with nice shiny leaves, and a beautiful white color. We ourselves have already sent some flowers to the Netherlands and the flowers arrived fine and the vase life was good."
