Celebrating Roses with Alexandra Farms

We are celebrating one of our favorite growers in the spirit of Rose Month! They specialize in some of the most beautiful roses found on Earth, and we are thrilled to be featuring their stunning collection on our platform. Please take a look at some of their unique blooms!

Alexandra Farms is located in the incredibly fertile savanna of Bogotá, high in the Andes Mountains of Colombia. The warm days and cool nights are perfect for growing roses. Their garden roses are hand-cut, hand-graded, and hand-packed by caring, rose-loving people. Proud growers of more than 60 varieties of garden roses at their farm in Colombia, offering florists and designers worldwide a wide range of colors, shapes, and fragrances. 

AXF is the world's most extensive garden rose grower, harvesting more than 300,000 stems per week- nearly 16 million stems per year!

Growing more than 60 commercial varieties of fresh-cut garden roses from breeders across the globe, including France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and more.  Our garden roses fall into four collections: David Austin English Garden Roses, Deluxe Garden Roses, Princess Japanese Garden Roses, and Wabara Garden Roses.  

AXF collaborates with rose breeders around the world and follows meticulous production techniques.  The result is garden roses with rich, alluring colors and full shapes as impressive as their vase life.

Alexandra Farms is certified under the Florverde Sustainable Flowers seal.  Florverde is an environmental and social certification confirming our commitment to environmental best practices, employment protections the responsible treatment of people, and health and safety requirements.     

These highly desirable varieties are lush, full, and gorgeous! Brides everywhere are requesting the newest breed of garden roses by David Austin. Austin is the world's best-known garden rose breeder, focused on the flower's most famous characteristics — the old-fashioned cup shape and fragrance — and bred varieties for the cut market with a terrific vase life.

They are the top choice of brides and event planners worldwide looking for something extra special for their bouquet or event decor. Alexandra Farms grows 16 of David Austin's most romantic varieties.

AXF provided over 350 blooms of garden roses at the Design Sanctuary Workshop in Maryland last month at Rosewood Farms and had the honor of seeing their blooms showing off tremendously. These blooms were oozing beauty even before they left the buckets! Here are a few snapshots of what the designers, photographers, and models created using a variety of stems and, of course, lots & lots of Alexandra Farms Garden Roses!
