| The
success of Rosebud Ltd stems from the infrastructure that has
been established and developed by the present owners over the
past 6 years. When the farm was acquired, barely on it’s
knees, many expected little to come of it,but it has emerged
as the largest rose farm in Uganda today. It has been restructured
and today it boasts of metallic green houses, an ultramodern
grading hall and modern cold rooms. It has a mechanized and
computerized irrigation system which is 100% hydroponic.
Commissioning
of the propagation unit in October 2005 marked a crucial turning
point for the farm as this meant that all plant requirements
could be met when desired and at a lower cost compared with
that of importing live plants. The farms’ propagation
unit is fully automated and climitized and the nursery is
capable of producing 4,000,000 plants per year. The technical
staff in this facility are well trained to manage this greenhouse
environment to create optimal environmental conditions for
each development stage of the plant right through grafting
to rooting and maturity. Throughout the process, they monitor
the relative humidity, light intensity, ambient temperature,
planting media and fertilizer requirements. |

Over
the years we have established strong relationships with our
customers who include the Dutch auctions and other customers

In recognition of human resources as the greatest assets in
any organization professional management is employed to oversee
the daily running of the farm. The company has invested in a
continuous training system that recognizes hard work to enable
retention of the experienced staff who are constantly and rewarded
for their effort. This has contributed to a constructive work
environment where new ideas can be developed. |
