We won’t sugarcoat it—we had a bit of a moment when we saw this year’s Pantone Colour of the Year. Mocha Mousse. A deep, rich, and undeniably luxurious shade. Don’t get us wrong, it’s stunning, but pairing it with our garden roses? That’s a challenge!
But fear not, fellow rose lovers—we love a challenge, and we’ve scoured our collection to find the perfect roses to complement this sumptuous shade. Before we reveal our picks, let’s take a quick dive into what the Pantone Colour of the Year actually is…
What’s the Deal with the Pantone Colour of the Year?
Every year, the colour wizards at Pantone select a shade that they believe encapsulates the mood, trends, and aesthetic of the year ahead. It influences everything from fashion and home décor to floral design (hello, that’s where we come in!). And this year, they went all in on Mocha Mousse—a warm, velvety, coffee-kissed tone that radiates elegance and sophistication.
