Our supplier: TIMAFLOR (RFH Nr. 63558)

“Growing roses is our hobby”

Timaflor started in 2006 and has 136 ha. Our farm is located on the slopes of mount Kenya at an altitude of 2350 meters. We are only 10 km away from the equator therefore  able to produce a constant quality throughout the year. Our maximum temperatures fluctuate between 26 and 24 degrees, our night temperatures between 8 and 12 degrees. Our aim is to grow intermediate roses with a head size of 4-5 cm. At the moment we have 30 different varieties aiming at 4 ha each, with an exception of red and white.

Our grower: ALTIMA RFH Nr. 99558

In addition, we started in November 2018 with a new Altima nursery located at 2,550 meters, Altima – a contraction of altitude and Timaflor. A bit higher, but it really makes a difference. You lose on the numbers, but you can consistently deliver heavier quality. In total Altima is 20 ha with the following varieties: Athena, Athena Royale, Copacabana, Deep Purple@, Memory Lane!, Pink Athena, Smiley@ and Upper Class.

Our grower: MLIMA RFH Nr. 97558

Since 2021, the Timaflor company has expanded further and the grower launched a new label: MLIMA. MLIMA means “mountain” in Swahili. In total there are now 37 ha with the following varieties: Athena, Athena Royal, Catch, Confidential, España@, Ever Red, Good Times, High & Magic, Mariyo, Orange Condor, Pink Athena, Revival, Sweet Revival, Spark Condor, Unicorn, Upper Class, Wildfox.

The expansion brings the entire Timaflor conglomerate to 140 ha of roses.

All our flowers from Timaflor and Altima are sold in recycled foil daily on the clocks 11,12 and 13 in Royal FloraHolland Aalsmeer. Fresco Flowers our sole agent takes care of everything as soon the flowers have landed.

We are of course the proud employer of 1700 people and have great respect  for the environment. Sustainable production is becoming increasingly important, and Timaflor is responding to this with sustainable energy sources such as solar energy. With the help of solar panels, the company is supplied with power for the business processes. All Timaflor farms have the following certifications.

Our grower: JANGWANI (RFH Nr. 98558)

Jangwani Rose is the latest project by Timaflor, where 5 hectares of spray roses are grown. What sets this project apart is its close connection with the Pepo la Tumaini Jangwani orphanage. It goes beyond flower cultivation, actively contributing to the future of numerous children, underscoring Timaflor’s strong social commitment.

TIMAFLOR  – JANGWANI ROSE

The orphanage serves as a sanctuary for neglected and abandoned children who have lost their youth and live in extreme poverty. Located in Isiolo, Kenya, this institution provides care for more than 250 children and their families. This remarkable project is led by a team of woman, with Khadija at the helm. It stands as a symbol of hope and a unique second change. www.pepolatumaini.org
