UHURU FARMS

At Uhuru Flowers, every bloom is seen as a story, individual and expressive, unfolding petal by petal. Nestled in the tranquil highlands near Timau on the northern slopes of Mount Kenya, the farm is a haven of calm where exquisite roses flourish beneath the equatorial sun. “Uhuru,” meaning freedom in Kiswahili, reflects the spirit of this 2,600-metre altitude farm, where an extraordinary spectrum of colours and shapes comes to life. Parfum Flower Company is proud to honour our long-standing partnership with Uhuru, united in our appreciation for craftsmanship, natural beauty and the soulful character of truly exceptional roses.

Set at over 2,600 metres above sea level, Uhuru Flowers benefits from an atmosphere that is uniquely suited to growing roses of exceptional quality. Long hours of gentle equatorial light and refreshing highland nights encourage the plants to develop strong stems, vivid colours and remarkable vase life. Roses grown in this environment open with a quiet confidence, revealing petal structures that are generous, expressive and full of character.

The farm is home to a diverse collection of varieties ranging from soft, romantic tones to striking contemporary shades. Each variety is selected with thoughtful intention, chosen for its form, performance and ability to inspire floral designers around the world. High-altitude cultivation allows the roses to develop slowly and fully, resulting in blooms with depth, nuance and an elegance that feels effortlessly natural.

Uhuru’s values are rooted in respect for both the land and the people who cultivate it. The farm embraces mindful water use, environmental stewardship and community-focused responsibility, ensuring that sustainability is not an aspiration but a way of life. Every rose is guided from bud to harvest by skilled and caring hands, preserving the integrity and beauty of each bloom.

What sets Uhuru Flowers apart is the harmony between place, passion and purpose. Their roses carry the brightness of the Kenyan highlands and the warmth of those who nurture them. The result is a flower that holds beautifully, travels gracefully and brings an unmistakable vibrancy to any arrangement. These are roses with soul, shaped by nature and elevated by craftsmanship.
