For those enamoured of roses, the best place to admire them is in the private garden Sólo Rosas, located in Llano Grande, Cartago. In 1978 Mr. Martín Guzmán and Mr. Gillermo Vega decided to start a flower business with the intention of selling their production to the whole country. Originally they began planting carnations but shortly after they switched to roses and never looked back!
