There are about 390 species of roses in Ecuador. They grow on the slopes of old, dormant volcanoes. The soil composition favors vigorous plant growth.

Due to the local climate, Ecuadorian roses are characterized by large flower buds, long stems, and brighter colors compared to Dutch varieties.

The maximum stem length is 1.2 m, but the most popular are flowers up to 60 cm long. The flower diameter is up to 13 cm. Among the colors, red, yellow and pink buds are the most common. The scent is light and has an oriental note. Cut flowers stay fresh for a long time, which is why they are also transported to European countries.

The rose is rightly considered the queen of flowers. And the Ecuadorian rose is the quintessence of sophistication and beauty (Photo internet reproduction)
