Key points
- Kenya grows premium, spray and intermediate roses plus fillers year-round.
- Properly cooled Kenyan roses give 10–14 days of vase life.
- Trial boxes let you test varieties before committing to a programme.
Choosing your roses and varieties
Kenya offers hundreds of rose varieties across premium long-stem (50–80cm), intermediate (40–60cm) and spray grades, plus gypsophila, hypericum, alstroemeria and summer flower mixes. Tell us the colours and head sizes your market wants and we will list what is cutting.
Vase life and why altitude matters
Kenyan farms sit at 1,900–2,600 metres, where cool nights and strong equatorial light produce thick stems and dense heads. With an unbroken cold chain, that translates to 10–14 days of vase life after arrival — the number your retail customers actually notice.

Packaging
Flowers are graded, bunched in tens, sleeved and packed in telescopic export boxes lined for moisture control. Boxes are labelled by variety, length and bunch count so your warehouse can break them down fast.
Cold-chain transportation
Boxes are pre-cooled at the packhouse, trucked to Nairobi (JKIA) and delivered into the airline cold room the same day. Most European, Gulf and Asian destinations receive consignments within 24–48 hours of harvest.
