The Naivasha Horticultural Fair that concluded last Saturday, September 23, brought to the limelight different floral stakeholders, including but not limited to; breeders, growers, and suppliers within the floral chain. Also, United Selections, a rose breeding company based in Nakuru, Kenya, was present and showcased its wide assortment of both standard and blossoms spray roses. So, which varieties gained a lot of traction from the growers? Edwin Kirwa, Marketing Assistant at United Selections, presents them in this article.
Nova Vita
"Probably this one is not new to you; she needs no introduction, really, but her stunning, pure white vase was the focal point of the booth. Nova Vita with its big bud size and pure white tones, effortlessly draws you in, you are compelled to inquire more, to touch, and even marvel at her elegant and luxurious feel. That is the Nova Vita effect!"
Rise & Shine
"Filled with radiating light and positive energy, Rise & Shine is not your typical yellow rose. Its captivating yellow shade, beautiful opening, and uniformity are some of the traits that make this rose hard not to notice her and even be in her presence."
Sawa
"Sawa is a Swahili for 'Okay,' or it's all good because that is Sawa for you! Sawa is an intense orange-colored new introduction. You can quickly connect with Sawa's passion, energy, and beautiful and effortless opening. Sawa is a rose that will surprise you as it blooms, one day at a time. To say this is such a beauty is an understatement, but you have to experience it to believe it."
Blossoms Spray Roses
The show could not be complete without the graceful presence of Blossoms Spray roses, he continues. "Blossoms mean more; more buds, more length, and different choices of colors, not to mention the different types of spray roses available within the series."
"Whether a grower is looking for straight colors, traditional spray roses, or garden spray roses, there is a spray rose for every need and occasion within the Blossoms series."
According to Kirwa, the following two highlights are the top two spray rose vases that deserve the spotlight.
Sweet Blossoms
"Ring your wedding bells because there is a befitting spray rose for all your wedding floral needs. Sweet Blossoms is a baby-pink colored spray rose, with a cream tone on the outside petal creating a desirable contrast."
Amazing Magic
"This salmon-colored garden spray rose brought the magic to the Naivasha hortifair show. Amazing Magic might not be a showy spray rose, but her calmness and cool vibe are what make you want to know all about this rose. The beauty is in letting Amazing Magic blossom, that's when she can truly come to life."
