More ecological than Swiss greenhouse roses

Find out why roses imported from South America or Kenya can also make sense from an ecological point of view.

«myclimate» - a study

According to a study by «myclimate», it can make sense to buy roses from Ecuador or Kenya, despite the fact that they have to be transported to Switzerland by air.

European hothouses have to be heated and need artificial light, which, according to «myclimate», uses up to five times more energy than importing a rose by air.

And in actual fact, the proximity of South America and Kenya to the Equator makes for perfect conditions: hothouses need neither heat nor light.
