What is the most expensive rose in the world?

We bring to your attention the top 12 most expensive flowers in the world and two priceless species, and you decide for yourself whether these plants deserve your money.

Orchid Shenzhen Nongke

The most expensive flower in the world is the yellow factory orchid Shenzhen Nongke with a bright pink center, bred by Chinese breeders. The plant is incredibly capricious and blooms once every five years. In 2005, the flower was auctioned for $202.

Orchid “Kinabalu Gold”

The wild orchid “Kinabalu Gold” from the island of Borneo is classified as an endangered species. The plant takes a long time to prepare for flowering – the first flowers bloom only 15 years after the first leaves appear. On one pedicel there are 5–6 large yellow flowers with thin horizontal petals. Thin dark red veins form an intricate striped pattern. The price of one branch starts from $5000. The flowering period of orchids is quite short – from March to May.

Medinilla

The unusual hanging flowers of the picturesque plant stand out as a bright spot of color against the backdrop of the fresh greenery of the tropical forest. Pale pink bracts set off the neat tassels of the inflorescences in a darker tone. Medinilla is found naturally in Africa and Asia, as well as on one Pacific island. The price of one copy ranges from 50 to 150 US dollars.

Black Tulip

During the “tulip fever” in the Netherlands in the 300th century, serious passions swirled around rare varieties. Dumas the father didn’t even have to invent anything while working on the adventure novel “Black Tulip”. For a bulb of the purple-black “King of the Night” they would get four tons of wheat, 20 liters of wine, four bulls or a whole flock of sheep. And in our time, this planting material is not cheap – from XNUMX US dollars per piece.

Sellers of ordinary varietal tulips were also not in poverty. Under William of Orange, tulip bulbs sold for 10 guilders. Having sold two or three pieces, the florist could buy a house on occasion. Now such prices seem extortionate, but at that time the appetites of merchants were fueled by a natural monopoly: tulips unexpectedly turned out to be the brightest flowers in Europe and for some time eclipsed even roses.

Rose Juliet (Sweet Juliet)

The development of the elite rose variety Sweet Juliet lasted for 15 years. The famous English breeder David Austin invested almost 16 million US dollars in the venture, but the result was a masterpiece. Elegant flowers of a delicate apricot hue with a subtle, soulful aroma have won the sympathy of florists from around the world. One rose will cost $25, and for a small bouquet you will have to pay almost $150. However, there are always buyers!

Rose of Paradise (Pierre de Ronsard)

Another world-famous variety of climbing roses was created in France about 20 years ago, but has already managed to collect all the awards at prestigious international competitions. Touching strong buds and lush cup-shaped flowers of the old style are painted in aristocratic cream and soft pink tones; More saturated coloring around the edges gives additional volume. The cost of one flower is 20 US dollars.

Initially, the variety was named “Pierre de Ronsard” in honor of the court poet of the Classical era, but since the name of the master of court odes and madrigals is not widely known, the commercial name “Eden Rose” is more often used.

rainbow roses

Thanks to the efforts of the Dutch florist Peter Virken, we can see all the shades of the rainbow in rose petals not only in our dreams, but also in reality, lightening our wallet by $10. As a result of many years of experiments, in 2004, an enthusiastic gardener managed to obtain the first samples of rainbow roses. The trick is to divide the stem of a regular white rose into several channels and mix the pigments correctly. By absorbing water colored by several pigments, the plant gradually acquires a rainbow color.

Gloriosa

Translated from Latin, the name of the flower sounds like “glorious” – and the plant fully justifies its proud name. Six chiseled orange-red petals with a yellow wavy edge resemble flames. Fragile stems and thin long leaves with a spread of up to two meters are an exotic type of shrub. The plant is quite large – up to 3 meters high.

Gloriosa is cultivated in Asia and South America; the price of one seedling is about 10 dollars; a flower can be purchased at a cost of 500 to 700 rubles.

Hydrangea

An elegant Asian flower with a delicate aroma, similar to a fluffy cloud, named after a fairy-tale princess and carries itself with royal dignity in bouquets and arrangements. The spherical surface of the inflorescences is formed due to the different sizes of flowers that form a large head: larger flowers are located at the edges, and small ones are located in the center. Not so long ago, hydrangeas began to be grown in America. In the USA, factory-made flowers sell for six dollars apiece. In Russia, a seedling can be purchased for 600 rubles.

Interesting texture and rich palette ensure a stable demand for hydrangeas in florist shops. The plant blooms for a very long time – from early spring to late autumn, but withers very quickly, so it is recommended to cut the flowers on the day the bouquet is presented.

Eustoma

Eustoma flowers look like roses, but their petals are not heart-shaped, but oval. The length of the shoots reaches 60 cm. The cost of one bunch ranges from 600 to 2000 rubles, depending on the color and variety. The high price is partly explained by the fragility and fragility of the plants: a cut branch with good care will last only two to three weeks. For this reason, eustomas are not yet fully ripe for sale. Young petals are white and brittle, which is why eustomas are popularly called “paper flowers.”

Eustoma – an aristocrat among spring flowers

Seed saffron

Dried saffron stigmas serve as raw materials for the production of natural spices with a rich aromatic bouquet. Half a kilogram of spices requires 80 flowers, which are hand-picked. The high consumption of raw materials and an impressive share of manual labor support the high cost of seed in Russia and in the world: for a kilogram of saffron bulbs they will ask for from 000 to 160 rubles.

Lily of the valley

Even a modest lily of the valley sometimes shocks with its price – for a bunch of fragrant forest flowers, even during the mass flowering season from May to June, you will have to pay at least 1000 rubles, and the rest of the time the price reaches 5000 rubles. It’s all the more unfortunate that the flower fades in just a couple of weeks, and some pickers also try to speed up its death by injuring the leaves and inflorescences with careless movements.

Middlemist

The rarest plants on our planet, as you may have guessed, have no price at all. Neither flowers nor seedlings of the Red Middlemist rose variety, brought to Great Britain from China about two hundred years ago, are sold anywhere. There are only two copies left on the whole Earth: one in the London greenhouse at Cheswick House, the other in New Zealand, and they can no longer be found together. The plant is no longer found in its native Celestial Empire.

Selenicereus, or Queen of the Night

Selenicereus grandiflora, or Queen of the Night, is another rarity in the world of botany that cannot be bought for any money. The freedom-loving flower does not tolerate captivity and fades in just a couple of hours. The delicate petals are instantly damaged during assembly, so it is better to admire the flowering of Selenicereus from a distance, inhaling the exciting aroma of the plant. Thin needle-shaped bracts form a radiant halo around the flower head, similar to a royal crown.

It really doesn’t matter how much you paid for the bouquet as long as the flowers were given from the heart. Even the simplest bouquet of daisies, which you collected on the side of the road on a whim, can please, support and encourage those who are dear to you. What else do we need from flowers?
