Our favorite roses for weddings! As a wedding florist, roses are typically the bread and butter of our designs. While their is the occasional rose hater, most of our brides love and request roses for their weddings. We love switching things up and finding new roses for our clients. Here are some of our favorite and most recommended roses!
Favorite white roses
Playa Blanca – Playa blanca roses are a hardy, large, petal dense rose that can sometimes has a blush hue, but is primarily white. It holds up well and becomes more beautiful the longer it has to open. Definitely give it a few days to open naturally before using it.
Eskimo rose – The Eskimo rose is a fairly hardy true white rose. It has a smaller head size than most of the other rose varieties we use, which also makes it suitable for boutonnieres.
Tibet rose – The Tibet rose is another white rose that has a great white color (no green undertones). It does have somewhat delicate petals and tends to blow open so, unlike Playa Blanca roses, I keep this rose in the cooler until I need to use it.
Mondial rose – Mondial roses are very hardy roses that are more cream and have green undertones around the edges. I used this rose so often when I first started flowers and if the color palette doesn’t call for a bright white rose I highly recommend this one!
White cloud – White cloud garden roses are my favorite white garden rose. Their centers are more of a cream than white but they have incredible ruffles and the most amazing scent. I have found these to be difficult to source but if you have access to them I definitely recommend them.
Pink rose varieties
Art Deco – Art Deco is a beautiful rose that has a color range of a light pink center to dark/hot pink outer petals. It’s ruffly petals give it a garden rose look at a typically lower price point.
Mayras Peach – we love this peachy pink rose because of it’s beautiful ruffly petals that give it the same look as a garden rose. Although this rose variety has a luxury look, it often comes with a lower price tag than your average garden rose.
Miss Piggy – Miss Piggy is such a fun and beautiful rose. With a name like that how can you dislike it! It has a vibrant orange center with pink outer petals.
Pic Nic – Pic Nic is one of my personal favorite roses. At an amazing price point, unique color, and beautiful shape, it is pretty much everything you can ask for in a rose.
Faith rose – Faith roses are a beautiful lavender mauve color that is similar to a Quicksand rose, just a few shades more violet.
Pink Expression – Pink Expression is one of my go to roses for colorful summer weddings. It is a garden rose that comes in bunches of 25, has a great price point, is easy to source, and holds up extremely well in the summer months.
Peach Rose Varieties
Tip Top – Tip top is one of my favorite roses because it has a similar look to the Juliet garden rose. The Juliet garden rose is sometimes difficult to get during wedding season due to its popularity, so it is nice to have alternatives. It is also priced lower and comes in higher quantity bunches.
Juliet garden rose – The David Austen Juliet Garden rose is one of the most famous and requested roses we work with.
Phoenix – Phoenix is a stunning creamsicle peach colored rose. It provides a great bridge color for many palettes. It opens beautifully and is fairly sturdy.
Red rose varieties
Nina – Nina is one of my absolute favorites because it is such a unique shade of orange red. It stands out and makes a statement. It is a showstopper and hard to find shade.
Unique Colored Roses
Symbol – The Symbol rose is a golden mustard colored rose that makes a great bridge color or many fall palettes.
