Grower Bliss Flora Ltd. Is Very happy With the Variety
Bliss Flora Ltd, a rose farm based in Njoro, Kenya has been growing Basanti since 2018. Initially, this grower had limited volumes to supply. It was sold in the direct markets and on RFH auctions occasionally. Last year, Bliss planted more Basanti to fulfill the market demand as many of his customers like it. Sachin Appachu of Bliss talks about how the rose opens up to show the filled heart of the rose, keeping the very bright color.
"Most roses when they open become a bit paler in their color when the flowers are opening. Not with Basanti, as the colors stay very bright yellow. Not a single day this rose has let me down."
There might be one little negative thing about this variety. When the flowers are offered to trade, they don't show their potential. It doesn't show that the buds are filled with so many petals. Sachin continues:
"But we know from experience that once people see how this rose opens they will never stop buying it! French floral designer Gaétan Jacquet told us: 'Les roses jaune sont splendides', -which translates to that they are really great!"
