Roses

A classic, or single-headed, rose is a flower in which every centimetre matters. Stem length, its thickness, bud size, shape, and how far it has opened determine not only how the flower looks, but how it is valued.

At Camellia, roses are grown with these parameters in mind at every stage. A plant does not grow for a single season: some bushes can stay productive for up to 12 years, and on average they are grown for about 6–7 years. A bush usually reaches its highest productivity in the second or third year, depending on the variety, then settles at a steady level and gradually ages.

Roses are sorted by set quality criteria: stem length and strength, bud size and condition, how correctly it opens, and the absence of damage and pests. A longer stem is not simply more centimetres. A long rose usually has a thicker stem and a larger bud, and so a quite different presence in a finished bouquet.

The classic rose remains a universal flower — for a gift, a bouquet, a special occasion, or simply a moment when you want to add colour to an ordinary day.

Before you put the flowers in water, recut the stems by 2–3 cm with a sharp knife or secateurs.

Use a clean vase and fresh water. Change the water every day, rinse the vase, and keep leaves out of the water.

When you change the water, recut the stems. This helps the flowers take up water and stay fresh longer.

Use a flower preservative or nutrient solution for cut flowers, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Keep the flowers in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, radiators, air conditioners, and draughts. The best temperature is from +5 to +20 °C.

Regularly remove wilted petals and leaves, especially any that fall into the water. As they decay they encourage bacteria, which makes the flowers wilt faster. The bouquet will then stay fresh and tidy for longer.

Do not put the bouquet next to fruit. Fruit gives off ethylene, which makes flowers wilt faster.

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 area of the glass greenhouses is 7.35 ha, or 73,500 m².

In peak periods the daily cut can reach up to 65,000 roses. This is a peak figure, not a daily average.

Today it is about 15 million roses a year. The actual volume depends, among other things, on the planting structure and the ratio of single-headed and spray varieties.

The production complex works with industrial volumes of roses. At the same time, a flower is a living product, so the actual availability of a particular variety, stem length, and required quantity depends on the current cut. Large volumes are agreed with the current production situation in mind.

Because hectares show how much area is used for growing, but they do not show the capacity of the whole chain that follows. Working with large volumes requires the right infrastructure beyond the greenhouses themselves — from moving the flower inside the complex to forming finished batches.

Roses are the most popular type of flower. That is why they are sold in large quantities in all retail stores. If you own one of the retail outlets, roses are available in bulk in the warehouse store at current prices. Roses are grown in large quantities in Camellia greenhouses. Purchasing conditions depend on the volume and assortment. If you want to find roses wholesale in Kyiv, professional advice is available at the warehouse store.
