Alexandra Farms is a family-owned boutique grower of romantic, nostalgic, fresh-cut garden roses nestled in the fertile savanna of Bogotá, high in the Andes mountains of Colombia. The farm was founded in 2005 by Jose R. Azout and is named after his daughter, Alexandra.
Since then, we've been dedicated to cultivating flowers with exceptional beauty, fragrance, and performance. Our garden roses inspire florists and flower lovers around the world.​
In our 50 acres of greenhouses, more than 400 garden-rose-loving employees hand-graft, harvest, grade, and pack more than 42,000 stems each day. Our collections feature nearly 80 varieties of garden roses and dahlias, each carefully selected for its distinctive shape, color, and charm.
​
Guided by respect for nature and community, Alexandra Farms proudly holds certifications from Florverde Sustainable Flowers, One Carbon World, and the Business Alliance for Secure Commerce. Our long-lasting, award-winning blooms are available year-round through floral wholesalers around the world.​
We grow an assortment of roses of many different colors, shapes and sizes that were bred in France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark. These varieties make up the Deluxe Garden Rose Collection.
As the largest of four licensed David Austin® growers in the world and the only one in Colombia, we are thrilled to offer the most romantic English garden roses in our David Austin Wedding Rose Collection.
​
Garden roses that were bred for the Emperor of Japan make up our Princess Garden Rose Collection.
​
The Wabara Garden Rose Collection is a line of Japanese garden roses developed by breeder Keiji Kunieda.
​
We grow dahlias with desirable shapes and colors, and a long vase life. Our varieties were developed by two breeders for the cut flower market. More varieties are in testing for future release.
​
We also grow tweedia and are testing several other types of filler flowers for future release.
​
We currently sell to select importers and wholesalers around the world. To order our flowers, please contact a sales manager listed below, send us an email, or contact us here.
