Rose Rhodos
The rose Rhodos, known for its large flower head and thornless stem, is grown in Kenya in greenhouses at 1,600 meters altitude. Here, it receives lots of natural sunlight which makes it grow to an impressive length of 60 to 90 cm. The large-headed rose has a head size of 5,5 cm and is characterized by its high petal count, which is spotted best in full bloom.
The powerful red of the Rhodos rose is slightly brighter than most other red roses. The stems of Rhodos are thornless and this rose is generally seen as one of the longest-lasting red roses available. This makes it one of the most popular red roses for the Christmas season.
