Over the last few week , Kenya has had a lot of rain and this wet weather condition delay the rosaceous production . Not good timing in the run up to Valentine ’s Day ( February 14 ) . As a result , less roses are on the market which result in higher Leontyne Price . The prices of the red and other colored blush wine are about 10 percent higher compare to last year , explain Remco van der Arend of van der Arend Roses , a Dutch rose wine agriculturist . Only the Price of white-hot seems to lag behind this twelvemonth .
Remco van der Arend
Van der Arend grows 8 varieties of expectant flowering blush wine on 11 hour angle in Maasland , the Netherlands . The roses are being sold directly and through the auction clock and find their way throughout Europe - but the most to Germany , the UK , Italy and Poland .
The red rose - the Valentine ’s color - in their compartmentalization is the Red Eagle of German wax stock breeder Kordes Roses . Since 2015 , they raise this variety and the interest in it continues to grow . Special about this rise is the color , explains Remco . " It is one of the few blush wine with such a bright blood-red colour and it scarce has any spikelet . "
Red Eagle in the glasshouse
Van der Arend was already pleased with the sale of Red Eagle last Christmas and due to the convinced run - up to Valentine ’s Day , 2020 kicks off well too . " The prices on the auction are about 10 percentage higher compared to last year , not only for Red Eagle , but also for the other colors in the assortment . Also for these variety , the damage are about 10 percent higher . " White , however , remand a bit behind this yr - for this , Van der Arend does not bonk the reason .
However , for the gain in the prices for the other pink wine , he make out the reason . " compare to last yr , Kenya has had more rain . Due to this wet weather , the supply out of Kenya is under air pressure . In contrast , Ethiopia has a unspoilt yield , but with this output , the gap that Kenya leave alone is not being fill . As the demand is high for Valentine ’s Day , a logical result is the higher price . "
And the demand might even be higher than old year , " Nowhere in Europe , it is significantly cold and this means dear ' sales weather ' . "
