A Dutch rose farm on the equator

Bloemenhof grows its roses in the Ecuadorian highlands at 3,000 m above sea level, under Dutch ownership and exacting growing standards. Harvested in the cool morning, chilled within the hour and shipped the same day. When the box is opened in Amsterdam, Miami or Moscow, the roses look just as they did when they left the farm.

Buyers of Bloemenhof roses get higher quality, longer vase life and better service.

Long equatorial days, cold Andean nights and thin mountain air are what give these roses their weight.

Varieties

A growing collection with a consistent edge over standard farm roses. Browse below.

A sample box of any variety leaves the farm on [Monday]. Write to [sales@bloemenhof.com] and tell us what you want to see.

Why buy from Bloemenhof

Five things buyers come back for, in the order they tend to notice them.

Better flowers, across the board

  • Brighter, deeper colour
  • Longer stems
  • Bigger heads

Altitude does most of the work: slow growth builds heavier buds and stronger stems.

Longer shelf and vase life

Cut at the right stage, cooled within the hour and kept cold all the way to you, so the clock starts at your end, not ours. [12–14 days] in the vase.

Supply you can plan on

The same varieties, the same volumes, week after week. You get the availability list every [Monday] and we tell you early when a block is between flushes.

Reasonable pricing

We grow and sell it ourselves, so there is one margin between the bed and your box. Ask for the price list with your lengths and volumes.

Service that answers

One person who knows your orders, answering the same day in Dutch, Spanish or English. If a box arrives wrong, you get a straight answer on it that week rather than a claims form.
