In Soria ( Spain ) , at an altitude of more than one kilometer , Aleia Roses grows the Red Naomi rose . And that ’s unique . Not only is there there no other raiser anywhere in the vicinity , they ’re also doing something special in term of vision , exfoliation and technique .
Spanish enterpriser Luis Corella , who possess a large tomato plant greenhouse in Mexico at one point , had a plan to rise ' the most beautiful and best climb up in the Earth ' . Where , he wondered , was the good place to do that ? In the Netherlands , because of the horticultural knowledge they have there ? Or around the equator , which is where many Dutch growers went ? Or could it be possible to ascertain an optimum elsewhere in terms of climate , proficiency , multitude and sales opportunities , in addition to having ' the most beautiful and dependable rose ' ?
We were invited for an extensive tour - clickherefor the photo write up .
So he ended up in Spain - Soria , to be accurate . There ’s mountain of sunshine , altitude , and water system ( with both rain and a river nearby ) . The humidity is also grim . At the same time , it ’s stuffy to the Dutch flower auction sale than Kenya , not just in term of forcible distance . In 19 minute , flush in buckets with pee can be transport to Aalsmeer by road , control over the intact cognitive process is far greater , and there ’s comparatively promiscuous access to all proficient support imaginable . mechanization , including two Bercomex Furora lines , has been implemented to a T ; watering and refining , climate control , craw protective covering and glasshouse technology is state of the art , and labor , energy , infrastructure , and before long even the CO2 from a nearby bio energy industrial plant , is present . And although Spanish bureaucratism might not always be prosperous to deal with , they are and sense very welcome .
In forgetful , a solid instauration from which the tremendous operation - under 14 hectares of glass , 40 million roses are grown annually - can get into a successful business . The interrogation is , first of all , whether they ’ll truly come through in raise the ' most beautiful and best rose in the man ' , and second , whether they can make a net profit in the process .
And they can . " We had to learn quite a bite , particularly in terms of lying-in . Before we came here , nobody knew anything about roses or horticulture in world-wide . We ’re getting better and easily at that though " , says CEO Dirk Hogervorst . " What ’s essential , however , is that we follow in growing Red Naomi here , upright than in the Netherlands or anywhere else . Especially in the winter month , the quality really is better . That ’s not just apparent from our test , but also systematically express by FlowerWatch , Wageningen UR and Royal FloraHolland . Also , the harvest only latterly got to the point where our heaviest quality can be sold under the brandAleia Máxima . "
So do they have a so - address holy Sangraal here ? It ’s too early to say that at this point . But it ’s clear that there ’s hope here , as should also be apparent from ourphoto composition .
