For the third year in a row, De Ruiter East Africa has been feted as one of Kenya’s top 100 mid-sized companies. The Naivasha based rose breeding facility is famed for its unique assortment of roses. When we recently visited De Ruiter East Africa, they were geared up for the 2014 IFTF expo. De Ruiter's Fred Okinda took us on a tour of the farm's green showhouse where we captured some of their winning commercial rose varieties as well as promising new ones.
