Alexandra Farms is a boutique farm dedicated to growing nostalgic, romantic garden roses. The farm is located in the incredibly fertile savannah of Bogotá, high in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, where the warm days and cool nights are perfect for growing roses. Our garden roses are hand-cut, hand-graded and hand-packed by caring, rose-loving people.
