The recently concluded Naivasha Horticultural Fair, which took place on September 23, 2023, served as a vibrant showcase for various floral stakeholders, including breeders, growers, and suppliers. Among the prominent exhibitors, United Selections, a distinguished rose breeding company headquartered in Nakuru, Kenya, took center stage with its diverse collection of standard and blossoms spray roses. Edwin Kirwa, the Marketing Assistant at United Selections, presents the standout varieties that garnered significant attention from growers during this event.
Nova Vita: This iconic rose variety needs no formal introduction. Its striking, pure white blooms became the focal point of the United Selections booth, drawing visitors in with their sheer elegance and luxurious feel. Nova Vita is characterized by its substantial bud size and pristine white tones, leaving observers compelled to inquire more, touch, and marvel at its beauty. The Nova Vita rose undoubtedly leaves a lasting impression.
Rise & Shine: Standing apart from the ordinary, Rise & Shine is no typical yellow rose. Its captivating yellow hue, combined with a beautiful opening and remarkable uniformity, makes it an irresistible presence. This rose exudes radiance and positive energy, commanding attention wherever it blooms.
Sawa: The name “Sawa,” derived from Swahili, translates to “Okay” or “it’s all good,” and this rose lives up to its name. Sawa is an intense orange-colored newcomer that exudes passion, energy, and effortless grace in its opening. This rose surprises and delights observers as it blooms gradually, inviting them to witness its beauty unfold one day at a time. To say that Sawa is a beauty would be an understatement; experiencing it is believing it.
Blossoms Spray Roses: No floral exhibition would be complete without the graceful presence of Blossoms Spray roses. Kirwa emphasizes the significance of Blossoms roses, highlighting their abundance of buds, extended length, and a multitude of color choices. This series offers a diverse selection of spray roses, catering to a wide range of preferences.
Whether growers seek solid colors, traditional spray roses, or garden spray roses, the Blossoms series provides a spray rose for every need and occasion, ensuring that every floral arrangement can be imbued with elegance and charm.
Two standout varieties within the Blossoms Spray rose collection deserve special mention:
Sweet Blossoms: This exquisite baby-pink colored spray rose, adorned with a cream tone on the outer petals, is tailor-made for wedding floral arrangements. It exudes an irresistible charm, creating a desirable contrast that is perfect for ringing wedding bells and adding an extra touch of elegance to these special occasions.
Amazing Magic: With its captivating salmon hue, the Amazing Magic garden spray rose enchanted visitors at the Naivasha Horticultural Fair.
