As the leaves begin to turn from green to gold, autumn brings us some of the most beautiful colour combinations of the year.
Warm apricot, rich caramel, soft honey and antique gold naturally find their way into seasonal bouquets and floral designs. These golden tones work beautifully for autumn weddings, events, gift bouquets and shop displays, bringing warmth, depth and plenty of character.
There are many roses within the Parfum Flower Company collection that fit this gorgeous autumnal palette. However, we have chosen five golden beauties that feel particularly at home alongside the turning leaves: Apricot Swirl, Caramel Antike, Golden Mustard, Honey Colorama and Heart of Gold.
Let us introduce you to our golden girls.
Golden Mustard
Golden Mustard is a rose for florists who enjoy using something a little different.
Her unusual tawny colour sits somewhere between mustard, muted gold and sun-warmed earth. Pale almond outer petals, sometimes touched with the faintest hint of pink, surround a deeper golden centre.
She is not a bright yellow rose, and that is precisely what makes her so interesting. Her softer, vintage colouring feels beautifully autumnal and works particularly well in modern floral designs.
Caramel Antike
If autumn were a garden rose, she might look rather like Caramel Antike.
Her full, cabbage-shaped bloom opens in layers of velvety petals, with warm shades of honey, caramel, amber and antique gold. A soft blush at her centre adds another little detail to an already rather special rose.
Caramel Antike brings richness and depth to seasonal designs inspired by falling leaves, candlelight and cosy autumn interiors.
Apricot Swirl
Apricot Swirl is one of those roses that keeps you watching as she opens.
Previously known as Candlelight, she begins as a yellow rose before gradually developing warmer apricot tones. Her slightly curled petals open outwards to reveal a wonderfully romantic shape, while her sweet fragrance carries a subtle hint of lavender.
Apricot Swirl brings softness to an autumn floral design and sits beautifully alongside deeper caramel, honey and golden shades.
Honey Colorama
With a name like Honey Colorama, you already know you are in for something delicious.
Her mustard-yellow petals open to reveal an almost golden centre, while her vintage yellow outer petals gently fade into dusty pink. Add her mild fragrance and you have a rose that offers far more than one simple colour.
Honey Colorama creates a beautiful bridge between golden, caramel and pink tones, making her perfect for softening an autumnal arrangement.
Heart of Gold
Heart of Gold brings a glorious finishing touch to our collection of golden garden roses for autumn.
Her warm colouring adds light among the deeper caramel and mustard tones. She is a beautiful choice for designs inspired by the last golden leaves of the season and that wonderful autumn sunlight we would happily keep for a little longer.
And honestly, with a name like Heart of Gold, she was always going to make our list.
Autumn Roses for Weddings, Gifts and Events
These garden roses are not limited to rustic autumn weddings. They can feel romantic, modern, luxurious or wonderfully wild, depending on how you use them.
For an elegant wedding palette, warm apricot and honey roses look beautiful with cream flowers and soft foliage. For something moodier, caramel, mustard and deeper brown or burgundy tones bring richness and depth.
In gift bouquets, even a few carefully chosen garden roses can create a real wow factor. Their generous flower heads, changing colours and distinctive shapes can make an everyday bouquet feel far more special.
They also photograph beautifully against the softer light and natural textures of autumn, which is always useful when you need content for your shop or social media.
