It was a busy year in general, from the open days in January to IFTEX, PROFLORA, and our participation for the first time at the Interflora World Cup among other partnerships, in a nutshell, it was an extremely engaging year.
It was such an honor meeting different people, some for the first time, while others a reconnection, but every chance where we are able to share with you the milestones we have achieved in our breeding line is always much welcomed. We noted that IFTF 2023 is once again picking up and already at the level it was pre-COVID-19, the quality of visitors and the amount were notably high. Being the last show for the year, it presented an opportunity to review the year, while also preparing for the coming year.
The following are some of the varieties that gained significant traction during the show, for most of these varieties are readily available for you in the market, while others are new introductions that you ought to keep tabs them for when they are introduced soon in the market.

Sawa is an orange-colored rose, with an intense orange shade, perfect shape, and a beautiful opening on the vase. Sawa can last between 12-14 days on a vase, with a stem length of 50-70 cm.

With this potential, we are optimistic Sawa will turn out great once introduced in the market.
