About this variety

This entry covers the exotic long-stemmed hybrid-tea cut roses тАФ Dutch and other imported cultivars such as First Red, Grand Gala, Taj Mahal and Samurai тАФ grown under polyhouse and shade-net rather than in the open field. Concentrated in the Bengaluru belt, Maharashtra and the hills, they supply the premium bouquet and export trade, and a well-run protected planting can yield about 100тАУ150 long-stemmed stems per square metre per year, with cropping timed to Valentine's Day and the wedding season. This is a high-input, high-value system: the plants, the polyhouse, the cool chain and the intensive pest and disease management all cost far more than an open-field loose-flower crop, but the returns per flower are also far higher.
