Due to the ongoing heatwave we have made the difficult decision to finish the confetti growing season earlier than usual.
A rose bush has a natural life cycle where it would bloom, petals fall, then the flower head forms a ‘Hip’ which it would use to reproduce. By cutting the bloom to harvest, it forces the bush to produce more buds, something that flower growers have done for centuries, also known as ‘dead-heading’. However now that the south of England is 8 weeks into an un-precidented heatwave, forcing the roses to continue to bloom weakens the plant and risks them dying.
So we are finishing up our Petal Confetti harvest earlier than usual in order to protect our plants, not just at Redhill Confetti HQ, but also at The Crown Pub in Capel.
We’d like to extend our thanks to the team at The Crown for working with us for a 3rd year, and look forward to all being well for a 4th Confetti Season in 2027.
