Ontario Greenhouse Rosa Flora Bounces Back From Disastrous Fire

Business is blooming at Rosa Flora, a cut-flower grower in Dunnville, Ont., just west of the Niagara region. After seeing a spike in demand for certain product lines, the 37-year-old company is adding more flowers – snapdragons and lisianthus – and setting up its revamped website with online ordering.

“We’re pretty excited,” says Joshua Bulk, who owns Rosa Flora together with his sister and brother-in-law, Arielle and Ralph DeBoer. “Our customers are excited too, to see what’s been happening with us.”
