The use of greenhouses in local rose farming was a distinction earned by PCFC and an innovation from the open-field farms that most cutflower production has been designed after. It enabled PCFC to pioneer the commercial production of European roses and introduce a variety of colors to the local market. A post-harvest facility completes the design to assure that only the best quality product reaches the market. The advantages from this technology are many:
- controlled temperature and humidity that prevent pests and diseases
- standards are followed with more consistency
- varieties achieve their maximum potential in terms of bud size, color and other physical attributes
- sizes vary from short to very long stems (reaching up to a meter in length) and production may be programmed depending on buyers' demand
- less thorns that makes handling easier
- clean petals and leaves, again for easier handling
- good vase life so consumers can enjoy the flowers longer
- reliable supply
- roses are available all-year-round
The Island Rose is the brand that represents our success in growing European roses under local conditions.
