Kenya, the rose garden of Africa

Kenya lies on the equator in Eastern Africa at a height of between 1800 and 2500 metres. After coffee and tea, roses are Kenya’s most important export with hundreds of growers based on a few thousand hectares around Lake Naivasha. Kenya is most famous for its medium to large head sized roses.
