Long stemmed roses require an intensive and intricate farming process. In order to actually grow a rose stem to 80 centimeters, you must care for it daily. Farmers must prune any extra buds in order to create an ideal stem for the single bud. Long stemmed roses can only support one bud per stem, leading to a lesser production of roses and creating a rarity of long stemmed roses.
