Floriculture is one of the growth points for the Kaluga region. A quarter of all greenhouse flowers in the country are grown here. Special attention is paid to roses: there are more than 60 varieties of them in local farms. And recently the region has got its own special flower - a white rose, which received its name in honor of the regional capital.

The Kaluga rose is a peony-like variety from the Netherlands, which is grown by the breeders of the largest Kaluga flower production company. It all started three years ago with a single flower. Thanks to the experience and talent of local specialists, they managed to breed it. Now it is the top variety for the company and the whole region.

The flower petals are arranged in a classic bud and have a pure white color, the leaves are bright green, the stems are dense, without thorns, up to 60 cm in length. To date, this is the only “city name” variety in Russia. By the way, for the first time Kaluga rose was presented on January 12, 2024 on the Day of the Kaluga region at the International RUSSIA EXPO.

White roses are glorified by poets and artists, mentioned in legends and religious texts. It is believed that these flowers grew in the gardens of Eden. And after Virgin Mary hung baby Jesus' swaddling clothes on the bushes, white rosebuds appeared on them. St. Nicholas wanted to take bread to the poor in a severe frost, but the abbot reprimanded him for giving away the monastery's supplies. At that moment a miracle happened: the bread turned into roses as a symbol that St. Nicholas' work was Godly.
