Help with roses :/

Hey...

Well, a friend of mines little brother is basically trying to find out about "keyan roses" and so far I have not had any luck helping him out. He is trying to find out about their life cycle... anyone have any suggestions or anything?

Major thanks and cookies to anyone that can give the kid a hand.

Are sure that's the correct name / spelling as I cannot find any reference to it, let alone info on it's life cycle :confused:

Kenyan Roses?

What is the context of the requirement?

Some News Story said:
Britons spend £1.5bn on millions of cut flowers each year, with the bulk (85%) coming from overseas. A fifth of the imports are from countries outside of the EU, with Kenya and Colombia topping the list.

Over eighteen tonnes of Kenyan roses and carnations are sold in Britain annually, with around a quarter of all roses sold in Britain originating in Kenya. Imports of flowers from Kenya have been rising dramatically, almost doubling between 2001 and 2005.

*SCREAM* well, it seems my friend told me it in the wrong context. After wasting an hour or so searching I called them back up and asked him again, it turns out he wanted to know the life cycle of roses grown in keyan, apparently they are all given the brand name "keyan rose" so that was helpful of him

So far I found some stuff searching for kenya roses horticulture in google.

Thanks again all, apologies for making you all search for the wrong thing
