• Pros/Cons
• Flower Care
• Quantity Help
• Substitutes

The Good: Garden rosesin generalare so romantic and soft. Often a good substitute for the seasonal peony. They are available year-round, long vase life, and predictable.

The Bad: Price. Garden roses are about 3-4 times more than a standard rose and they are not always larger in size. However, they do have a different petal shape, which is why they are often sought after. If you are on a tighter budget we suggest just getting them for the bridal bouquet!

• Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
• Remove leaves below waterline
• Leave cardboard wrapping on for 1 hour BEFORE removing. This will ensure the heads stay upright while hydrating.
• After 1 hour remove the wrapping and spread roses out so they have PLENTY OF ROOM to bloom and open wide. If they are packed together in a bucket they will not open like the pictures.
• Pluck off any brown or spotted buds or guard petals
• To encourage opening, you may place them outside in nice weather or in a sunny spot.

Garden Roses are considered a ‘Luxury Accent flower’. Based on our design suggestions here’s our quantity recommendations:

1. Bridal Bouquet: 6-10 stems
2. Maids: 3-5 stems
3. Bouts: 1 stem, but generally these are too large
4. Corsages: 1 stems
5. Centerpieces: 3-5 stems
6. Large Arrangements: 1-2 bunches

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.

Acceptable Subs: Another garden rose type in similar color palette, ranunculus, peonies
