Production

 The total area of the modern greenhouse complex where "Camelia" roses are cultivated. 

 Single-stem and spray roses featuring various shades, bud shapes, and opening patterns.

Microclimate control and supplemental lighting allow us to maintain a continuous production cycle throughout the year.

New varieties are tested in real production conditions. For select varieties, "Camelia" secures cultivation rights, including exclusive rights.

Camellia rose production is a modern greenhouse complex where many years of experience with flowers are combined with automated technology and the daily work of specialists.

The quality of a cut rose does not depend on a single decision. It is shaped throughout the cycle — from the environment in which the plant grows to the first hours after cutting.

Key environmental parameters are monitored continuously in the greenhouses: temperature, humidity, light, and the operation of the irrigation, ventilation, and heating systems.

Automated systems receive data from sensors and help adjust greenhouse conditions throughout the day.

For the plant, this means a more stable environment and less impact from sudden changes in temperature, light, and humidity.

When natural light is not enough, supplemental lighting is used in the greenhouses.

It helps maintain the light regime the plants need and is part of the year-round rose-growing system.

Automation handles the processes that need continuous measurement and precise control of parameters.

Work directly with the plant stays with the specialists: shaping the bushes, caring for the shoots, monitoring plant condition, and cutting the flowers are done with the state of each particular rose in mind.

It is a person who judges when a flower is ready to cut and handles it where experience, attention, and a delicate touch matter.

A cut rose does not go straight to packing.

The first stage after cutting is specially prepared water. The flower is given time to make up for lost moisture and stabilize after being separated from the plant.

This is an important part of preparing the rose for further storage, selection, and transport.

After cutting and being placed in water, the roses are moved into controlled temperature conditions.

Cooling does not simply mean “keeping the flower in a refrigerator.” It is a process step that helps slow the natural processes in the cut plant, reduce moisture loss, and preserve its condition until the next stage.

Only after this preparation does the rose move on.

After hydration and cooling, the roses go to the packing room.

There the flower's characteristics are assessed: stem length and condition, the bud, the degree of opening, and other parameters that matter for the specific variety and category.

This selection makes it possible to form more uniform batches, so roses of the same variety and category are close to one another in their main characteristics.

After selection, the flowers are packed and prepared for dispatch.

How technological the production is depends not on the number of automated devices, but on how well they work together.

In the Camellia greenhouse complex, the microclimate, irrigation, heating, ventilation, and lighting systems are linked into a single production process.

Automation helps keep environmental parameters stable, while the production team checks the plants every day and adjusts care as they develop.

This approach makes it possible not only to keep the greenhouses running, but to manage the conditions that directly shape the future flower.

At the same time, production keeps developing: new varieties are tested, growing results are analysed, and the technological regimes and approaches to post-harvest preparation are refined.

In industrial floriculture, a larger cut does not always mean a better flower.

Camellia's production approach means quality control all the way — from plant care and the microclimate to the selection of the rose once it has been cut.

The priority is therefore not the maximum number of flowers from each plant, but the characteristics of the product the customer ultimately receives.

More than 30 varieties of single-headed and spray roses are grown in the greenhouses.

The assortment does not stay unchanged. New varieties are trialled in production conditions, and their characteristics and potential are assessed.

Camellia also works with international companies that breed new rose varieties. For selected varieties, growing rights are obtained, including exclusive ones.

Quality does not end at the moment of cutting.

After preparation, every batch is sorted. The flowers are grouped by defined characteristics so the buyer receives a clear and predictable product.

Particular attention is paid to how uniform the roses are within one variety and category — an important characteristic both for florists and for bouquets with a large number of flowers.

There is a fundamentally important stage between cutting and packing.

The rose is first hydrated and goes through temperature preparation — and only then is it sorted and packed.

Freshness here is not only the answer to “when was the flower cut.” It is just as important what was done with it immediately after cutting.

The production system is based on a combination of automated environmental control, the daily work of specialists with the plants, post-harvest preparation, and demanding sorting.

The task is not only to grow and cut the flower, but to preserve its characteristics at every stage that follows.

After it is separated from the plant, the flower continues to lose moisture. The roses are therefore first placed in specially prepared water and moved into controlled temperature conditions.

Only after that do they go on to selection and packing.

Controlled cooling helps slow the natural processes in the cut flower and reduce moisture loss.

It is not a way to “freeze” the flower or hide its age, but one of the process stages of post-harvest preparation.

No.

Automated systems do the work that needs constant monitoring and precision: they track environmental parameters and help manage the microclimate, irrigation, ventilation, heating, and lighting.

Work that requires judging a particular plant and handling it with care stays with the specialists.

More than 30 varieties of single-headed and spray roses are grown in the Camellia greenhouses.

The assortment changes and is replenished with new varieties according to trial results and demand.

New rose varieties are bred by specialised international companies.

A grower receives the right to grow a particular variety from such a company. For selected varieties, Camellia receives exclusive rights, which limit the ability of other growers to grow them in a defined territory.

Yes. A controlled microclimate and supplemental lighting make it possible to maintain the growing cycle throughout the year.

The greenhouse complex covers 7.35 ha under glass.

A rose's quality does not appear during packing. It cannot be added before the flower is sent to the shop.

It is shaped much earlier — in the choice of variety, the condition of the plant, the stability of the microclimate, the work of the agronomists, the right moment of cutting, and what happens to the flower in the first hours after that.

That is why Camellia rose production is built not around a single “secret of quality,” but around a system.

Technology controls what needs precision. People work where experience and attention are needed. New varieties are trialled. Cut flowers receive the post-harvest preparation they need. Before packing, every batch is selected.

And behind this whole complex system is a very simple result:

a Camellia rose should reach the customer exactly as it was intended in production — fresh, high-quality, and carefully selected.
