In a country celebrated for its diverse flora, the rose stands tall as a symbol of Kenya's floricultural prowess. But before delving into the fields of rose-growing farms, my journey began at a renowned breeding farm: United Selections in the scenic landscapes of Nakuru in Kenya.
As the name implies, United Selections is dedicated to selecting and breeding new rose varieties across the globe. Their main hub and research center is based in Kenya, with commercial operations spread across Kenya, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Colombia, the Netherlands, and a network of agents.
