We can’t wait for you to see them!

Greenhouse Updates

Our farm has been very busy planting and growing exciting, new varieties that will be in available in 2019.

Following our newest rose variety, Sandy, we have more updates from other varieties also growing at our farm.

Sandy

Sandy, from the breeders, Jan Spek Rozen and Conectiflor, is performing beautifully at our farm. It’s being well-received as a wedding and event rose, and a great substitute for the highly demanded rose, Sahara.

This creamy rose variety has gorgeous blush-antique petals which are elegant and complementary in so many different color schemes.

Finally

One of the latest updates from Jet Fresh Flower Growers, S.A. comes from the bed of our new Finally plants by the breeder, United Selections.

Christmas came early this year with the birth of our very first Finally button. We’re so excited for the progress coming from these highly anticipated red roses. Watch as Mike shows us the first production of red Finally from inside the greenhouse.

Lighthouse

Lighthouse is our most-anticipated, highest-demanded yellow rose for 2019. This vibrant variety also from the breeder, United Selections is part of their new “House” series roses and now growing at our farm, Jet Fresh Flower Growers, S.A.

This large yellow rose opens fully revealing beautiful, bright petals that stand out in any floral arrangement. We’re so excited for this rose to be available at our farm. The plants look very healthy!

Creme de la creme

Creme de la Creme, available now at Jet Fresh Flower Growers, S.A. is the perfect year-round rose for any occasion. This elegant variety has a creamy yellow center that creates depth as it blooms standing out in bridal bouquets and arrangements.

Mike was also in our Creme de la Creme bed showing us this lovely variety straight from the source. He’s so lucky.

Tara

Tara is another great variety available year-round and growing at Jet Fresh Flower Distributors. In the video below, Mike is admiring our tall Tara stems, about 60 cm high, and giving her a well-deserved compliment.
