The rose was, initially, not easily accessible, but with the rise of rose farming in Kenya and increased demand from florists, Rose Café Latte soon became more readily available, with the newfound accessibility allowing for florists and floral designers to acquire and use it in their floral designs, arrangements, and compositions.
The rose was initially exclusively grown at the Tambuzi flower farm in Kenya - which was one of the first farms globally to grow it as a commercial variety - for many years. It, today, is also grown at Uhuru Flowers in Kenya, Alexandra Farms in Colombia, Flores Verde in Ecuador, and El Milagro in Colombia. Its exclusive importer for the US market is Mayesh Wholesale Inc.

A True Beauty of a Rose Both Inside and Outside
Rose Café Latte boasts so many unique and distinctive qualities that anyone would find appealing. The rose has a truly exceptional appearance that sets it apart from other similar varieties, and its peers.
For starters, it has light copper-bronze exterior petals with slightly pinkish undertones. These petals enwrap the delicate brown-violet-colored part in its center. Not only is the rose a favorite of many people due to its warm, trendy color and fluffy shape, but also for its lovely vanilla fragrance.

Plus, the pretty ruffled petals and blooms of the rose open slowly and hold well for about 5-7 days, while releasing a delightful aroma that you will keep sniffing. These flowers are also large and deeply cupped, with the contrasting colors giving an overall attractive effect.
Notably, though, Rose Café Latte is most renowned for its unusual vintage antique petals with strong waves. And like most hybrid tea roses, Rose Cafe Latte often - in most cases - has high-centered blooms. All these qualities add a touch of elegance to the rose’s general allure.

The colors of the rose haven’t been spoken enough about! For, one cannot help but be fascinated by the spectacular play of colors that Rose Café Latte brings to life. These roses first exhibit a bright copper hue as they begin to open, subtly tinged with orange. As they mature, their color gradually transitions to lighter tones, conjuring the shades of a delicious latte.
Light yellow spots delicately adorn the inner petals close to the stem as though to add a touch of delicacy and charm to the set. This remarkable transformation of colors throughout the blooming process is one attribute that makes Rose Café Latte a true spectacle to behold.
