Our story

Forty years of roses in the Andes

A family farm in Tabacundo, Ecuador — growing premium roses since 1985, now in the hands of the second generation.

Since 1985

A boutique grower, not a commodity exporter

Our farm was founded in 1985 in the high valley of Tabacundo, on the equator yet 2,800 metres above sea level. Here the equatorial sun is intense and the nights are cool — the precise conditions that give Ecuadorian roses their famously long stems, large heads and deep, saturated colour.

We operate under the legacy name Boutique Flowers, the company that has carried our roses to market since the beginning. The market-facing brand is Ecuagarden — but the hands, the soil and the standards have been continuous for four decades.

Today the second generation runs the farm with the same conviction: grow fewer compromises and more rose.

The journey

From one greenhouse to a worldwide grower

1985

The first roses

The family plants its first greenhouses in Tabacundo, betting on the unique growing conditions of the high Andes.

1995

Boutique Flowers

The farm formalises under the name Boutique Flowers — the legal entity that still grows and ships our roses today.

2009

A foothold in the U.S.

The group establishes its own importer and cold-room hub in Davie, Florida — Ecuagarden Flowers — putting the farm directly on U.S. soil.

2nd generation

Rebranded as Ecuagarden

The market-facing brand becomes Ecuagarden, carrying four decades of craft into a vertically integrated, farm-to-vase operation.

Today

103 varieties, worldwide

Three million square feet of greenhouses supply importers, supermarkets and florists across the U.S., Europe, Russia and the Middle East.

The craft

How a stem becomes a premium rose

Every step is controlled on our own farm — that is why the quality is consistent, box after box.

Cultivation

Carefully selected varieties grown in controlled high-altitude greenhouses, nourished and monitored plant by plant.

Harvest to order

Stems are cut at the right point of maturity for the journey ahead and graded by length and head size.

Post-harvest & cold chain

Hydration and rapid cooling lock in freshness; an unbroken cold chain protects vase life from farm to destination.

Packed & shipped

Bunched, labelled and boxed to your specification, then flown out fresh to importers and to our Miami hub.

"From our farm in the Andes to your vase — fresher, longer, and with a name you can trace."

— The Ecuagarden family
