Ecuador roses: premium roses for florists

Ecuador roses hold a special place in the hearts of rose lovers and florists everywhere. And for good reason! Known for their premium quality and beauty, Ecuador roses are some of the best roses in the world. Did you know that over 70% of Ecuador’s cut flower exports are roses? That says a lot about their global popularity and how much love and care goes into growing them.

Why Ecuador Has the Perfect Climate for Growing Roses

Ecuador’s unique geography is like a dream come true for growing premium roses. Sitting right on the equator, Ecuador enjoys consistent sunlight year-round. Because Ecuador is located on the equator, the sun is stronger, which helps the flowers grow strong and vibrant, without any artificial heat!

Many Ecuadorian roses are grown high in the Andes Mountains. The high altitudes mean cooler nights which enhance the roses’ rich colours and strengthen their stems. Add to this the fact that most roses are grown on volcanic soil packed with nutrients, and you have the ideal environmental for growing high-quality roses.

Roses with long stems, big heads, and bold colours

Ecuador roses are famous for their bold colours, ranging from deep reds to soft pastels. This makes them perfect for any floral arrangement. With their oversized, large heads, Ecuador roses are the perfect eye catcher. And because Ecuador roses have long, thick stems their vase life is also very long. These roses are not just beautiful but practical too!

Once hydrated, remove the sleeve and condition the roses by removing the leaves and thorns.
Then, cut the stems again at a sharp 45-degree angle.
