CROP CULTIVATION TIPS

Roses

Rose cultivation remains a cornerstone of the global cut flower market, with demand for premium, locally grown stems continuing to rise. Europe, led by the Netherlands, remains a global hub for high-quality rose exports, while growers in North America are increasingly turning to modern greenhouse production to deliver consistent, year-round quality.

In colder climates, growing roses successfully requires careful climate control. Short days, low light, and fluctuating temperatures can all affect stem strength, bud development, and flower color. Achieving uniform growth and premium quality means maintaining a stable balance of light, humidity, and temperature throughout the year.

At Svensson, we partner with rose growers worldwide to create optimal conditions for high-value production. From energy-efficient screening and humidity management to vertical airflow systems that promote uniform climates, our climate solutions help growers produce stronger stems, brighter blooms, and more consistent results season after season.

  • Humidity:
    High humidity reduces transpiration and increases disease risk, while dry air can cause bent necks and weak buds.
  • Temperature:
    Roses need stable temperatures to support bud formation and stem strength, as fluctuations can delay growth and reduce quality.
  • Light:
    Light levels drive flower uniformity and stem development, especially during dark winter months when natural light is limited.

Solutions designed for strong, beautiful blooms

Marjoland in the Netherlands

The transition from SON-T to LED lighting provides significant savings on energy costs for many horticultural companies, but also leads to new challenges. After all, the climate in the greenhouse changes under full LED, as is the case at rose nursery Marjoland. A Luxous 1147 FR energy screen, vertical fans from ClimaFlow and an extra growth tube at the top of the greenhouse are used to better manage the radiation, moisture balance and heat distribution.
