Interested From the Start
Jose Azout:"We were interested in growing David Austin roses from the start! In fact, we started Alexandra Farms on the premise that we would be the licensed grower for Colombia. Unfortunately, we were too late and another farm was granted the license. Therefore we had to go find other “Garden Roses” to grow. We were fortunate enough to find Tantau and Kordes “Freilander“ varieties that were exactly what we were looking for."

Unexpected Circumstances
Once Alexandra Farms was up and running with these other garden varieties, unexpected circumstances at the former licensed farm led to the result that the David Austin license was then granted to Alexandra Farms. This was the starting point of The David Austin Roses collection in Colombia.
Preeminent Garden Rose Grower
Nowadays Alexandra Farms is the preeminent garden rose grower in the world due to many of the most exclusive garden roses in the world in their collection. Especially those of the varieties of David Austin, who is considered by many as the most exclusive Garden Rose breeder in the world. Let’s talk David Austin's cut roses. An introduction to those well known, 15 most romantic English garden roses. Especially the David Austin Wedding Rose Juliet™ is a familiar name in the industry. This variety was the first of David Austin’s Cut Roses to be released and is sometimes known as the ‘£3 million rose’; the first garden rose in a true peach color which was not found in roses of the past and is still hard to find among modern roses. Jose Azout:“It was just a matter of time before we would collaborate. This partnership is terrific! David Austin actively promotes their brand and helps us promote their roses. David Austin will continue to breed the most luxurious and fragrant roses on the planet. And we continue to grow them to the most exacting quality standards – it’s a win-win.”Above you see Purity™, Miranda™ and Tess™, all in production nowadays at Alexandra farms. In 2019 David Austin released 3 new varieties; Effie™, Ella™ and Eugenie™. Alexandra Farms was the first grower to release these new varieties to florists around the world. Other varieties which are still in vogue today, are the following: The yellow Beatrice™, hard pink Capabillity™, and the lovely soft peach pink Charity™:
