Ziway Roses

Just 163 km from Addis Ababa, we’re committed to quality, sustainability, and sharing Ethiopia’s beauty with the world. After years of experience in the Netherlands, in 2005 Holla Roses expanded its horizons and started its own rose nursery in Ethiopia. Located on the Ziway lake (roughly 160 km south of the capital Addis Abeba), our nursery covers an area of 42 hectares. On this nursery, the rose assortment for wholesale and retail is accurately determined. Crucial to Holla Roses’ vision is the importance of sustainable and socially acceptable production. Growing roses - especially in a country like Ethiopia - also means caring for the local community. Our socially responsible basis has been laid with the introduction of a school for employees’ children, hospital and sports facility. Every day, roses are prepared for refrigerated transport to the Netherlands. Together with the Dutch Flower Agency (Holla Roses’ processing company), the roses are processed for various sales channels on the basis of the highest possible quality. Thanks to its location in the flower auction FloraHolland Aalsmeer, a high speed logistics process is guaranteed.
