Colombia: Alexandra Farms introduces eight garden roses, three dahlia varieties

Alexandra Farms has announced the latest additions to its collections. "In addition to special colors, shapes and fragrances, roses must have at least a 10-day vase life after being nurtured, harvested, carefully packaged and shipped under the expert care of our team in Bogotá, Colombia."

Deluxe garden roses
"Wavy petals of cream and white playfully swirl together, forming a large cup bloom in Aurora Gardens!. Her lavender scent is moderately fragrant, and her delicate shape is classically bold, making her a stunning pick for both starring and supporting roles. Bred in the Netherlands, Aurora Gardens! makes her debut this spring."

"Voluptuous and seductive, Garden Romance's cabbage bloom is composed of bountiful, delicately folded scarlet petals. With the power of her mesmerizing color and style, this Germany-bred variety emotes the feelings of a fairytale garden rendezvous."

"Nearly tropical in her approach and playful in her design, Pink Butterfly Spr is the essential pillar for any adventurous installation. Her light pink petals and buttery center make this bloom a highly compatible companion to any number of color combinations imaginable. This Germany-bred spray garden rose is a game-changer."

"A balayage of peach carefully bleeds from the center to the outer layer of petals in Tie- Dye's bloom, moving softly from deep tangerine to light orange creamsicle. This shallow-cupped bloom emits a mild, fruity scent to complete the citrusy bloom's overall essence. This Netherlands-bred variety is a highly anticipated introduction to the collection."

"Cheerful peach center petals become lightly subdued as they approach the outer edge of the cupped bloom. With outer petals lightly etched in minty green, Tip-Top! is a garden rose so unique in her voluminous design that she becomes an anchor for endless whimsical creations. This stunner is a Netherlands-bred variety."

"Delicately kissed by drops of the lightest peach juices, Vicky Gardens! is softly sweet and lightly citrusy in both manner and scent. This sophisticated showstopper uses her copious petal count and large bloom to stand on her own without support from other acts. Bred in the Netherlands, this peach wonder is ready for her close-up."

Wabara Garden Roses
"The comfort of a warm summer sunset has been captured in the captivating tones of peach and sand among creamy, cloud-colored petals in Issei's flatly shaped rosette bloom. This cheeky, large beauty is a Japan-bred variety."

"Bubbling like a glass of soft pink champagne, Tsumugi Ulala - pronounced "Ooo la la!" - uses her overabundance of sparkling peach petals to create an exceptional double cup bloom. Though not fragrant, the striking features in her wavy petals create something of a masterpiece in each stem. A Japan-bred introduction and sister rose to the much-loved Tsumugi, this garden rose is a strong addition to the Wabara collection."

Dahlias
Alexandra Farms have also added three new dahlias to its offerings. Diana's Memory, Doris Duke and Wizard of Oz join the collection of varieties developed by two breeders for the cut flower market. "Alexandra Farms chose dahlia varieties with a longer vase life and consistent reliability, as we did with garden roses."
