Roses With Altitude are grown 3,200 meters above sea level in Cayambe, Ecuador.
Growing roses at such high altitude allows our roses to receive intense natural, sunlight year-round increasing our production cycle and producing high-quality roses.
These unique growing conditions enhance colors of your favorite rose varieties which are well-known for producing vibrant petals and beautiful bi-colors.
Roses With Altitude grows on virgin black soil that’s native to its area. This soil is enriched with both nitrogen and potassium that help extend the vase-life of the roses.
The soil is capable of maintaining nutrients and humidity because it isn’t sandy, nor does it contain any pebbles or debris. In fact, half of its nutrients come naturally from organic material which significantly reduces the use of chemical fertilizers.

Roses With Altitude are bred at much higher altitude than most roses, equipping them with larger heads, longer stems and thicker foliage. The altitude not only greatly improves the rose’s quality and performance, but also extends the cultivation period of these premium roses. “Roses grown at high altitude have a much longer growing cycle than those cultivated at sea level, up to 15 weeks as opposed to eight, so it is perfect for long-stemmed varieties with big heads,” said Ad van Rooijen, research and development manager at the Dutch floriculture multinational De Ruiter.
While most Ecuadorian roses are cultivated at an altitude of between 2,800 and 3,000 meters, Roses With Altitude will have longer production value because of its prime location 3,200 meters high. According to Rooijen, “The real advantage is that you get natural light all year round, so you can grow in winter and don’t have to use a lot of artificial illumination.”
These resilient roses experience intense lighting year-round which greatly enhances the color of the petals. “The cold nights mean that you get a lot of bi-colors, with contrasting hues on the edges and the insides of petals, which are very sought after in certain markets,” said Rooijen.
