1000 STORIES AND NEWS TO TELL
When respect prevails and the driving force is to have a positive impact on people and the environment, the stories and news to tell are endless….
We rely on the natural resources available in the growing regions of Ecuador. The rich soil that comes from thousands of years of volcanic activity. The power of the sun, which ensures growth 12 hours a day all year round. And finally, water, a natural resource that is available in sufficient quantities.
Pesticide residues are a very important issue in agricultural cultivation. Residues are reduced to a minimum and we also prohibit the use of pesticides with particularly critical active ingredients in agricultural production, post-harvest treatment, processing, storage and transportation.
We take the best from each culture, and that has meant a lot of hard work and a clear vision of what we want.
We share lessons, stories and positive aspects that belong to each region. Our employees in Ecuador take any feedback our customers give us with a lot of positivity.
They learn to be very punctual and to look for immediate solutions to meet the demands that may arise and, above all, they learn to be more precise – clearly very positive aspects that we emphasize about the Swiss culture.
In the same way we share our Ecuadorian culture, people full of dreams and inquisitive, people who work hard to deliver a flower of excellent quality.
Where do our roses come from and what makes them so special? Our range of roses with over 400 varieties comes exclusively from small fincas in Ecuador. Our roses grow there in the Andes at over 2700 – 3100 meters under natural climatic conditions.
The growing conditions ensure that our roses grow more slowly and therefore have a particularly long shelf life. The well-being of our employees is also very important to us. We attach great importance to fair conditions and appropriate working conditions. Within 48 hours, we can deliver the roses cut exclusively to order to the B2B trade in Switzerland. The Engagement that we associate with this allows us to support many families in Ecuador and have a positive impact on the local rose trade.
Packing fresh roses and cut flowers for transport is a real art.
What is crucial for careful packaging of our roses?
- Packing by hand
- Packing at the right time
- Few stopovers
- Fixing the roses in the bunch
- Fixing the bundles in the box
- Regular audit
Manual packing
Manual packaging is crucial to ensure that the beautiful roses arrive safely and undamaged at our Swiss customers’ stores. Delicate goods require careful packaging. Transportation is a challenge and a burden for the cut flowers, so each rose must be handled carefully – and with sufficient sensitivity. Every move has to be right, as the quality can be positively influenced by additional handling.
Right time
Our roses are hydrated after cutting and packed for transportation to Europe. Only well hydrated and perfect roses are considered for shipment. If care is not taken here, the roses will arrive at their destination in reduced quality. Temperature fluctuations and altitude differences can cause fungi to form during transport.
