Examining the grading criteria for premium roses

With over two decades of experience in exporting premium roses, Pj Dave Flower Group has discovered that quality is defined not just by beauty, but by consistency. For buyers handling large floral supplies, dependable grading results in fewer rejections, improved profit margins, and enhanced trust with their customers.

Every rose dispatched from Pj Dave Flower Group’s farms undergoes a meticulous grading procedure, where they are categorized based on stem length, bud size, and color uniformity and structure.

Each bouquet is labeled and verified against the company’s internal standards, as the distinction between a positive first impression and a rejected order lies in these specifics.

Bud size standards based on variety

At Pj Dave, bud size is distinctly defined rather than approximated. The roses are classified into three primary categories.

1. Super Super Premium (6+) These represent our largest and most opulent blooms. Rhodos 3.0, Ever Red, Mandala.

2. Premium (5.5+) These are well-balanced in size and structure—perfect for retail and bouquet arrangements. Athena, Alba, Deep Purple, Deep Silver.

3. Intermediate (4.5+) These are adaptable, reliable performers in mixed arrangements. Belle Rose, La Belle, Moon Walk, Madam Pink.

This clarity in grading enables clients to effectively plan their assortments, establish pricing tiers, and confidently handle large-volume orders.

Designed for scalability without sacrificing accuracy

With more than 50 varieties of roses produced daily, it is crucial to maintain grading accuracy at scale. Here’s how Pj Dave Flower Group achieves this.

Trained graders evaluate each stem for consistency

Pre-cooling procedures guarantee firmness and readiness for inspection

Careful handling reduces bruising and mechanical harm

Vase life assessments confirm product performance beyond export

These systems enable us to reliably provide intermediate, premium, and super-premium roses according to specifications.

At Pj Dave, our aim is not merely to cultivate roses—it’s to ensure that the product arrives precisely as anticipated. The grading process is the means by which the company safeguards your brand, mitigates your risk, and instills consistency in every shipment.
