When it comes to roses, the world is no stranger to the classic red and white varieties that have graced gardens and bouquets for centuries. These are colors—and varieties—commonly and easily found grown in practically every rose farming establishment. Of course, there are also yellow, orange, peach, pink, and many other colored roses as well.
However, amid all these familiar blooms, there's a star that florists and floral designers across the globe are very familiar with, and definitely love. This is Rose Jumilia, a stunning rose, known for its captivating bicolor petals, which have earned it a rightful place in the floral spotlight. This rose consistently ranks in the top 10 for Mother's Day bouquets.
The Passion and Expertise of Rose Jumilia Breeder and Growers
The popularity of this rose could never have been achieved without the passion and expertise of all those involved in its production. From the breeder, United Selections, to the growers, Rose Jumilia, which has been strong and steady in the market for 10 years now, is a constant source of delight and pride, and a flower that is simply awesome to have and look at.

With all this love and care a top-notch product is created, so it is about time to level up the presentation as well. There, always, has to be a way to make these flowers even more appealing when gifted to someone, or even when delivered. Grower J & K Rosa understands this really perfectly. This is why the grower introduced a new tailor-made sleeve that enhances the quality, look, and feel of this rose bringing out is beauty in a whole new perspective.

From African Origins to European Elegance
The journey of Rose Jumilia is a tale of collaboration and floral finesse. This exceptional rose traces its roots back to the breeding facilities of United Selections, where it was perfectly developed and tested. What makes Rose Jumilia even more remarkable is its adaptability to European conditions. This makes the rose unique, and hence a highly sought-after choice for growers on the continent.
Rose Jumilia's New Look
Koen Meewisse, the owner of J & K Rosa, understands the significance of this remarkable rose. He shares his insight into what makes Rose Jumilia truly exceptional.
Koen Meewisse:
"We have started growing Rose Jumilia in 2021, and we are very happy with this rose. Apart from its presentation value, I think it is a fantastic rose in terms of growth. And it has a low disease burden. These are all things that are necessary for sustainable cultivation, also in the future."
It's clear that the success of Rose Jumilia is not just about its striking appearance but also the careful cultivation and attention to detail by passionate growers like Koen.

Meewisse has taken the bold step of enhancing the luxury appeal of this rose through innovative packaging, and he is happy to shed light on his vision:
"At J & K Rosa, we have various product lines with 'regular quality' roses and 'super quality' roses. Jumilia is a wonderful rose that we only grow in a super quality. That is why this rose deserves a luxurious sleeve. However, until now, these two quality segments were always packed in the same sleeves. We decided to separate those two qualities to clearly show the difference and make super quality more easily recognizable."
This move not only reflects their commitment to delivering top-tier roses but also their dedication to providing florists and floral designers with the tools to create stunning arrangements that stand out in a competitive market.
