Alexandra Farms recently participated in Proflora. Alexandra Farms displays all of its commercial cut garden roses in their booth during the show. Visitors include current and potential customers from all over the world. This year they were visited by customers from the USA, Canada, Holland, England, France, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia and the Ukraine, among others.
The show includes a variety competition for each type of cut flower, and the top three entries in each category receive an award. This year Japanese variety Princess Suki (Loved One) won second place in the Garden Rose category.
