Rose Born Free® Conveys a Message
The newest of the red successes is Rose Born Free®. The presentation of the image of Banksy here below is foremost aimed at the promotion of the variety Born Free®. A rose is an emotional product and its commercial name and trademark convey a message, with an appearance in the mind of the user.
Banksy is a graffiti street artist who made the mural of a masked man throwing a bunch of flowers, inspired by images of 1960s protests in France. It portrays peace and hope. In these times of worldwide military conflicts, a clear message. And Born Free is a nod to the incredible story of Joy and George Adamson, two known wildlife conservationists who lived and worked for decades in Kenya, associated with Elsa the Lioness, Joy wrote Born Free to tell the lion's tale, which was later made into an Academy Award-winning movie.
"LOVE IS IN THE AIR" is the perfect message for Valentine's Day.
Red Roses for Valentine's Day
For generations, red roses have captured the minds and hearts of lovers worldwide. Giving a single stem or bunch of red roses on Valentine’s Day is the perfect way to say "I love you" when words are not enough. Red roses symbolize passion, true love, romance, and desire.
Rose Ever Red
Most florists are familiar with the Ever Red®, a pure and truly deep red rose. Ever Red roses are the epitome of what a true red rose should look like. Pure beauty in a truly deep red shade. But besides those eye-pleasing characteristics, they have the added benefit of being globally available, coming in lengths between 60cm and 90cm, and have a very good vase life of 10 to 14 days.
Ever Red roses are grown at many different farms. The beautiful blossoms of the Ever Red rose are largely available for floral designers at local wholesalers and for the general public at almost all flower shops in the world, making it one of those staple roses that everyone should have had in their hands at least once.
Rose Revolution
Revolution is a straight-up bright red African rose. The new red variety is named Rose Revolution, and the Naivasha-based flower grower Shalimar-Maitri Farm prides itself on being the first farm to grow in the region. This rose promises to be a new success.
Rose Rhodos
The Rose Rhodos® is a sizzling red and world-famous variety known for its large flower head. It is grown in greenhouses at 1,600 meters altitude in Kenya. Here, it receives lots of natural sunlight, which allows it to 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. It is best spotted in full bloom.
The powerful red of Rose Rhodos is slightly cooler than most other red roses. Rose Rhodos is generally seen as one of the longest-lasting red roses available. This makes it one of the most popular red roses for Valentine's!
Rose Red Calypso
Rose Red Calypso® is still a widely demanded rose. It has become one of those mainstay red roses and for good reason. With its slightly smaller head than most standard roses, it has a delicate look. Plus, that deep red hue adds a touch of passion to your designs. Red Calypso opens its petals gradually and has virtually no black discoloration.
If you want to add a sensual pop of color to classic arrangements, the Rose Red Calypso® is your best pick. With its vibrant red color and really good vase life, this variety has a lot of commercial value for florists and retailers. Red Calypso roses bloom into beautiful, classic rose shapes that work well in bridal bouquets, and centerpieces, and are a favorite for Valentine's arrangements. With a great vase life, classic blooms, and a passionate and romantic color palette, there is very little to love about this variety.
Rose Born Free
Rose Born Free® is one of De Ruiter’s latest winners within reds from South America. With a bud size of +5 cm and a bright red color, Born Free is a promising variety. Rose Born Free is also always opening, even after a long journey. Sea freight is not a problem at all! This opens opportunities for more sustainable transportation means. Resistant to botrytis and the perfect size for each segment. A full-blooded red and beautiful variety.
Rose Furiosa
This African-grown lady Rose Furiosa® in ruby red is a rose for whom aesthetic seduction is a given. The wine-colored petals offer the same allure of soft scarves drenched in the most sensual perfume. The pretty red blooms unfurl slowly into a classic rose and it has a very good vase life for lasting joy. A popular variety among florists, but also for supermarkets, weddings, and events.
