Roses

If we had to put money on it we would say roses were the most popular wedding flower ever. Their ruffled charm and romantic look makes the perfect centrepiece for any bridal bouquet, and with their timeless appearance they’re requested by nearly every bride we speak to. 

What size do roses come in?

Roses can come in all sorts of sizes, depending on the variety you choose. Quite often, too, the size of a rose head depends on the length of its stem. Typically the longer and thicker the steam, the more time the rose has been given to grow – which means you’ll end up with a lovely large flower head in the end. 

The largest roses are often gorgeous garden roses that have piles of petals and a beautiful scent. However, these lovely flowers come with a lovely price tag to match!  

What colours do roses come in?

Roses come in nearly every colour you can imagine, from the classic red roses seen everywhere around Valentine’s Day to the softest shades of ivory. Something brides often ask for are white roses to match their wedding dress, however pure white is one of the only shades that are hard to find when it comes to roses. 

If you prefer something more subtle then earl grey roses are perfect with their lilac/grey finish. For colour-lovers you can go all out and plump for dyed roses that are artificially coloured for a really punchy finish. 

Whatever your wedding day theme or colours you’re sure to be able to find a rose variety to match. 

Which Flowers To Pair Roses With

Thanks to their classic look roses go with just about anything. We love them with other old-time favourites like hydrangeas, ranunculus and lisianthus but really these beauties suit being snuggled up against any flower in toning or contrasting colours. 

When Are Roses In Season?

You can get roses all year round thanks to international shipping! If you’re getting married in the late summer in Scotland then you’ll have the choice of some gorgeous locally grown blooms which tend to have a larger head and beautiful scent. But if you’re getting married at any other time you’ll be sure to be able to get your paws on some roses from some sunny shores somewhere especially for your big day. 

How Much Do Roses Cost?

Roses come in all different price brackets, depending on stem length, flower size, scent, colour and grade (how perfect they are). Our roses start at about £1 a stem and can go up to around £6 per stem for some of the gorgeous English garden roses.
