Ecuador Rose Plantations

The fertile volcanic earth, lying directly beneath the equatorial sun, fed by natural springs and refreshed by the cool Andean nights, creates the perfect combination for some of the world's most beautiful roses. Their colours reflect every chroma of the countryside and skies, and their names are equally exotic: Black magic, Tropical Amazon, Versilia and Clear Ocean are but a few.

Discovering the roses of Ecuador is to relish the soft aromas secreted from the stem to the delicate edge of every petal, the scent redolent, lingering, floating like a petal through the air. The roses of Ecuador, roses of inexplicable beauty, in which one can uncovers the sun's energy in every petal. There are several rose plantations close to Quito that can be visited on a half day tour.
