roses - Discover U-Pick farms in the Netherlands

Picking your own roses in the Netherlands is a wonderful way to spend time outdoors, surrounded by vibrant colors and fresh fragrances. Whether you go alone for a peaceful moment or with friends and family for a lively outing, the experience is both relaxing and rewarding. The thrill of choosing the perfect blooms—whether bold reds, soft pinks, or sunny yellows—adds a personal touch to your bouquet.

Once home, roses can brighten any space. Arrange them in a vase for a simple centerpiece, scatter petals over a table for a romantic touch, or dry them to create long-lasting decor. For a creative twist, float rose heads in a shallow bowl of water with candles for an elegant display.

If you’d like to use roses beyond decoration, try these ideas:

Rose tea: Steep fresh petals in hot water with honey for a floral, soothing drink.
Rose syrup: Simmer petals with sugar and water to make a syrup for cocktails or desserts.
Rose-infused cocktail: Shake rose syrup with gin, lemon juice, and a splash of soda for a fragrant Rose Gin Fizz.

The possibilities are endless, making your rose-picking adventure even more special.
