About the Super Sun rose

Super Sun was bred by De Ruiter, a Dutch breeding house that developed the variety specifically in response to rising global demand for reliable yellow roses. It pairs a bright, saturated bloom with intensely dark green foliage for strong color contrast in arrangements. At Flores el Progreso, Super Sun is grown in our Nemocón, Cundinamarca greenhouses, where altitude and light conditions support its color depth and stem strength.

The variety was bred with growers in mind: it carries a standard thorn count, produces very few side shoots that would otherwise need trimming, and shows below-average susceptibility to botrytis (grey mold) — one of the most common post-harvest issues in rose production. That means more consistent quality by the time stems reach the buyer.

Did you know?

Super Sun was purpose-bred by De Ruiter for Colombian and Ecuadorian growing conditions, and has since become one of the most widely planted yellow rose varieties among South American export farms.
