Traditionally, florists have used garden roses for weddings, large installations and luxury events.
But why should bridal bouquets have all the fun?
Many garden roses and spray roses within our Parfum Flower Company collection are equally suited to gift bouquets, weekly flowers and everyday floral designs. The secret is choosing the right rose for the right purpose.
Are Garden Roses Suitable for Gift Bouquets?
Yes, many garden roses are the perfect choice for gift bouquets. Garden roses bring an unmistakable wow factor to any design.
Every variety performs differently. For example, some delicate roses have a shorter vase life and perform best at weddings, events and installations, where you can plan for them to look magnificent at exactly the right moment.
In contrast, other varieties offer the strength, vase life and reliable opening needed for beautiful gift bouquets. Their fragrance, generous blooms and unique character can make birthday bouquets, anniversary flowers and romantic gifts truly unforgettable.
Neither type is better than the other. Each simply has a different job to do. You can find further details about the varieties in our collection on our website.
Using Garden Roses in Your Shop or Studio
Displaying garden roses at different stages of opening is a wonderful way to show your customers what makes them special. A rose that arrives tightly closed can become almost unrecognisable after several days of careful conditioning. Fully opened roses attract attention, fill your shop or studio with fragrance and provide beautiful content for your social media.
Choosing Garden Roses for Your Bouquets
Garden roses offer an incredible variety of shapes, colours and styles, helping you choose the perfect rose for the purpose and price point of your bouquet.

Garden Roses Are for More Than Weddings

By choosing varieties suited to gift work, you can introduce more customers to their extraordinary form, fragrance and character. Just a few carefully selected stems can transform an everyday bouquet and make a thoughtful gift feel truly personal.
