When we were in Kenya we had the privilage of being given a tour around one of their many rose farms. It was a really special oppertunity and amazing to see the process from beginning to end, and to learn about how many factors are at play to produce these beautiful roses. I really enjoyed taking photos there, and hope you enjoy viewing them :)
Grafting the new stems onto old roots...
A little bit more growth a few tents on.
All the plastic pipes used to graft.
Reaching for the sky...
Appropriately named I think :)
Roses in cold rooms right after being picked.
Stem measuring...
Ready for delivery.
The beautiful roses in the reception - they cost about R15 there!
And here they are, just up the road from our home :)
I like the photo of the lady in amidst the roses. Did you take the last photo of the woolies roses in SA?
