Garden Rose Wedding Guide 2013

Bring back the Romance!


White O’Hara This large French Garden Rose has a slight ivory tinge in the center that fades as the rose opens. It has a strong fragrance and will open into a four heart shape. It also has a great vase life.


Baronesse

This dark pink rose has a rosette shape that is perfectly symmetrical when open. What it lacks in fragrance, it makes up for in longevity. Was selected to decorate the gardens of the German Nobility.


Alabaster This is a buttery white rose, that starts off rather small only to grow up to be quite large. It has a slight fragrance. The dark green folliage really brings out the color of the petals


Pink Piano This is a deep cup shaped rose, that grows with side shoots. It has a striking pink color and a nostalgic shape. It has no fragrance but does have a very long vase life. There is no other rose with quite the same tone of bright pink.


Piano

The original German deep cup shaped rose. It has no fragrance, but lasts a long time in the vase. Piano is an elegant dark red, with darker outer petals. It grows with side-shoots. Will open to 70%.


Mariatheresia A sister to Baronesse, this rose has the same rosette shape that is so endearing. It is a light pink color, has no fragrance but lasts a long time in the vase. The perfectly simmetrical light pink petals are brought to shine by the dark green large folliage.


Pink O’Hara

This is White O’Hara’s sister. She has the same large head, strong fragrance, and great vase life except she is a lovely light pink color. Will open up in a into a quartered heart shape.


Romantic Antike

An old fashioned cabbage shaped rose of a medium, dirty pink color that will open up huge! It has a slight fragrance and will do well in a vase.


Augusta Luise

Augusta is a frilly pink rose with peach overtones in its center. As it opens, it loses the intensity of the center and becomes more of a light pink rose. It has a strong fragrance and will open up fully. Augusta grows with side shoots. Alas, its vase life is only 6-8 days.


Caramel Antike An old fashioned cabbage shaped rose of a tan, sandy color that will open up huge! It has a slight fragrance and will do well in a vase. It is reminiscent of the Dutch Masters cabbage rose paintings of the 18th century.


vitality

Vitality is a buttery white rose with the traditional spiral rose shape. It is, however our most fragrant rose! And it will open all the way and give a performance to die for! This is the rose for brides looking for a fragrant bouquet!


Bridal Piano

One of the new colors in the Piano series, bridal piano is the lightest pink. It grows with side shoots and has a green tinge on the edges of the guard petals. Is a deep cup shape that will last a very long time in the vase. It opens a bit more than the other Pianos, but hardly more than 70%


Yves Piaget

The original “Peony” rose, Yves is named after a famous French jewelry designer. She has a huge head, frilly petals, a heady fragrance and deep green foliage. It is as much a wonder in the vase (or bridal bouquet) as it is in the gardens of southern France.
