Bit of history
The pink business was once in the Golden Age. At that time, no one had heard of Russian merchants, and all flowers were sent only to North America. The expression "flower planter" meant "aristocrat." These were people who were called old families in Ecuador, that is, descendants of the Spanish conquerors. All this was 20 years ago. This is a period of fabulous loans, chic limousines and fabulous brand new yachts in Miami in the very beginning of the 1990s.
In the early twentieth century, growing flowers again became a profitable business. Rosa Ecuador occupied huge plantations. Where the climate is colder, the plants grow beautiful and tall. Flowers feel best at altitudes of up to 3200 m above sea level, on the slopes of volcanoes - these are cheap Native American lands. And the variety of soils in mountainous areas has led to the appearance of such a palette of shades that nearby plantations are not alike.
Pink plantations of Ecuador
In Ecuador there is no empty and no land. Only very completely barren and cold territories, which are located at an altitude of more than 4000 m above sea level, as well as the surrounding tundra volcanoes, which are national parks. Every piece of land is cultivated in the country.
Rosa Ecuador grows everywhere. Kayamba and Tumbako (valleys at an altitude of 2500 m) are completely dotted with white roses. From a height they look like rags, each with an area of 1 hectare. Moreover, these territories are increasing.
70, 000 residents of Kayamba are associated with flowers: they build greenhouses, fertilize soils, grow, carry crops, etc.
There are few so-called old families in this valley. But here appeared plantations owned by the peasants themselves. The image of the planter has changed. It has an Indian peasant bone. They spend all day on pink plantations, driving in a jeep.

Demand is stable and practically does not change only on scarlet plants. And the other varieties of roses Ecuador in different years are of varying success.
