A family owned and operated company that is now heading into a third generation of family members. The company was started 35 years ago as a small flower growing business growing a variety of mixed seasonal flowers to satisfy the retail markets of Melbourne Australia.
C & A Boon & Sons now known as Boon Roses started growing carnations as main line; with an assortment of other flowers to compliment our supply, roses grown in the field was one of those lines. We soon discovered that roses were a better line to grow. As weddings were fast becoming important to us we sourced out varieties of roses that were good for weddings and bridal bouquets. As wholesale flower growers we feel it is important to keep up with all the colour trends in the wedding and bridal rose trade. We enjoy receiving pictures of some of the bridal creations that have been put together by our florist customers.
Our first glasshouse was built in the early seventies with timber posts and timber roof trusses using second quality glass to house roses and extend the natural season, very soon after we acquired a boiler to produce flowers all year round.
As the years progressed so did the company, sourcing information and technology from overseas.
These days we have 5 hectares of state of the art glasshouses all environmentally controlled by computers. Producing between 5 and 6 million stems per year in a variety of colours.
A large part of our business is catering for weddings with a range of white, pink, and cream roses and shades in between.
As rose growers and flower wholesalers we aim to be leaders in our industry. Our years of experience within the industry, puts us in good stead to cater for all your rose needs.
