When it comes to gifting flowers, using garden roses is rapidly becoming the the way to go. At Parfum Flower Company, we sell some of the best roses that not only smell amazing but also look stunning. Whether it’s for a special occasion or it’s just to make someone’s day, a bouquet of garden roses is an exciting choice.
Our sales manager, Pieter, has selected five garden rose varieties that make fab gift bouquets. These roses not only exude grace and sophistication but also carry unique characteristics that make them perfect for expressing your sentiments. Let’s dive into the world of these exquisite blooms and discover what makes each one so special.
Prince Jardinier: The Noble Choice
Prince Jardinier is a rose that commands attention with her very large open blush pink blooms. Named after Prince Louis Albert de Broglie, a noble gardener, this variety is known for her open blooms and intoxicating fragrance. The rose opens fully, revealing a rich, almost regal appearance that is sure to impress. Out of all our choices she has the shortest vase life, so it may be worth adding a warning when delivering. However she will definitely hold the room whilst she is in bloom, she is a true showstopper!
Cafe Latte: The Sophisticated Surprise
For those who appreciate something a bit different, Cafe Latte offers a unique twist. Her unusual etheral coloured petals blend shades of beige, lavender, and a hint of peach, creating a truly sophisticated look. This variety is perfect for someone who enjoys the unconventional and the refined. Her subtle fragrance and striking appearance make it a conversation starter and a memorable gift.
Pink O’Hara: The Quintessential Romantic
Pink O’Hara is the epitome of romantic roses. Her lush, pastel pink petals and delightful fragrance make her a favourite for wedding bouquets and romantic gifts. The blooms open beautifully, showcasing a layered effect that adds depth and texture to any arrangement. When you wish to convey love and affection, Pink O’Hara is the rose that delivers your message with grace and charm.
White O’Hara: The Timeless Classic
White O’Hara is synonymous with purity and elegance. Its large, white blooms have a hint of blush at the centre, adding a touch of warmth to its pristine appearance. The strong, citrus-like fragrance of White O’Hara makes it a perfect choice for creating a serene and uplifting atmosphere. This rose is ideal for weddings, anniversaries, or any occasion where you want to express pure, unadulterated admiration.
Yes Piaget: The Diva of the Piaget Roses
The Yves Piaget rose. This rose is truly once seen, never forgotten. A gloriously strong scented rose with a hint of sunny citrus and an average of 80 layers of petals in a peony-shape. Yves Piaget’s ruffled petals are a mix of dark and bright to very light shades of pink and are, just like an enormous scoop of strawberry ice cream, incredibly difficult to resist.
Three sneaky favourites
We’re sneaking in a few of our favourites which we see popping up all over our socials. Pictured below from left to right, Silva Pink by D.Fleur_gomel, Peony Pink by Rosebellaflowers and Julietta by JKFlowerboutique.
Not all garden roses are perfect for bouquets
While the above varieties are exceptional choices, it’s important to note that not all garden roses are ideal for gift bouquets. Some may have shorter vase lives or more delicate petals that don’t withstand handling well. So it is always worth checking out vase life before adding to bouquets. For example this stunning rose below, Toulouse Lautrec – smells incredible and looks divine but only has a five day vase life. A classic wedding and event rose.
Our final say
Garden roses are a great addition to gift bouquets and add something extra special, making your arrangements stand out from the rest. At Parfum Flower Company, we take pride in offering the finest varieties that are perfect for any occasion. With Pieter’s expert selections, you can be sure that your gift bouquet will be a masterpiece of floral artistry.
