Peterkort Roses

What Peterkort Roses does

Peterkort Roses is a family-owned cut flower greenhouse business operating in the Tualatin Valley near Hillsboro, Oregon, founded in 1923 by the Peterkort grandparents and now in its fourth generation under a seven-sibling family partnership with two siblings employed full-time. The company grows and wholesales cut roses and complementary greenhouse flowers — including garden roses, spray roses, anemones, freesia, Asiatic and Oriental lilies, ranunculus, lisianthus, hellebores, maidenhair fern, stephanotis, coxcomb celosia, dried flowers, and rose petals — across more than 100 named varieties, with a stated emphasis on local production and near-organic growing practices.

The firm sells exclusively wholesale to the cut flower trade, requiring business identification or a Portland Flower Market buyer pass for new accounts. Orders are taken via email, with direct shipping via FedEx or UPS subject to a $100 minimum flower order plus actual packing and shipping costs. Distribution runs through three channels: in-person sales at the Portland Flower Market on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings (5:30am–10:30am), delivery via wholesale florist partners operating from that market, and direct outbound shipping. Pricing is unit-based and not publicly disclosed, with rose bunches standardized at 25 stems for standard roses and 10 stems for garden and spray roses.

The customer base is composed of local retail florists, wedding and event florists, and wholesale flower distributors in the Portland metropolitan area, with a secondary U.S. shipping channel. There is no external investment, no parent company, and no public ticker. Geographic focus is the Pacific Northwest, supported by greenhouse infrastructure that enables year-round lily production and an extended May–December rose season. Revenue, headcount, and financials are not publicly disclosed.
