Our story begins in Lima in 1994. To bring a new way of giving roses to life, Rollin Thorne, then a 23-year-old university student, sold his car and founded Rosatel in his parents’ garage.
In 2024, that experience found a new expression in Portugal. Together with Talia Zeni and Janice Seinfeld, QRoses was born: a new chapter in the same belief — a gift can bring two people closer.

At the beginning, Rollin joined forces with Donald Hoskins and his childhood friend Javier Pardo. Jorge Arteta later joined the project. Rosatel expanded across Latin America and became a recognised name in the gift of roses.
After selling his stake, Rollin brought that experience to Europe. With QRoses, the story continues through new gestures, new people and new ways to share an emotion.
