Roses
The Rose Hub
Roses are around 60% of what florists in Saudi Arabia sell, and Riyadh customers like them open, not tight in bud. Most arrive from Kenya and Ethiopia (excellent value, 40–60 cm stems), Ecuador and Colombia (big heads, 60–80 cm), and the Netherlands (premium and garden varieties). Saudi-grown roses from greenhouses in the Riyadh, Qassim and Tabuk regions are increasingly available, and the Taif rose is the Kingdom's heritage bloom every April.

Rose care in Riyadh
Recut 2 cm at an angle, remove leaves below the waterline, use flower food, change water every two days, keep away from AC vents, direct sun and fruit bowls (ethylene). Riyadh tip: mist the heads lightly in summer and never leave the bouquet in a parked car.
Rose questions
What do rose colours mean?
Red says love and passion, white purity and new beginnings, light pink gratitude, yellow friendship and joy, orange enthusiasm. Choose the colour for the message, not the price.
How many roses should I give?
Twelve is the classic dozen, 50 is the most requested for special occasions in Riyadh, and 99 stands for lasting love. A single stem is a lovely gesture beside a gift or card.
What is the difference between Kenyan and Ecuadorian roses?
Kenyan and Ethiopian stems run 40–60 cm with medium heads and excellent value for high-count bouquets, while Ecuadorian and Colombian stems run 60–80 cm with large heads that suit boxes and luxury arrangements.
What is the Taif rose and when is it available?
The Taif rose is the damask rose grown in the mountains above Taif: small, deep pink and intensely fragrant. It is harvested in spring, around March and April, and used in garlands, gift trays and rose water.

Vase styling
Practical steps
- 1
Start with foliage as the base, add the focal flower, then fill the gaps with smaller blooms.
- 2
Aim for an arrangement about one and a half times the height of the vase for balance.
- 3
Cut stems at an angle and strip any leaves that would sit below the water line.
- 4
Change the water every two days and keep the arrangement away from direct sun and air conditioning.
