We don't. Ecuadorian roses and spray roses, farm-direct to Fairfield County, every week of the year.

Wholesale only. We do not sell retail and we do not compete with our customers.
Consistent winter stem length and head size, without a Manhattan market run.
Something to sell from greenhouse space that stands empty from November.
Volume quoted per stem, ordered to a date, for weddings and corporate work.
Single-origin roses with a story the shelf card can actually tell.
Our roses are grown on the equator at between 2,600 and 3,000 metres. Twelve hours of light every day of the year, and cold nights at altitude, produce the thick straight stems and large heads that Ecuador is known for — and that no greenhouse in the northeast can match in February.
We buy direct from the growing regions north of Quito rather than through a Miami wholesaler, because the shorter the chain, the fresher the stem that reaches you and the more we can tell you about it.
AltaFlor is building its supply line now and scheduling its first shipments. We would rather tell you that than promise a date we cannot hold. If you buy flowers for a business in Fairfield or Westchester County, write to us and we will send availability and trade pricing as soon as it is firm.
