Rose Varieties and colors


Red roses are and probably always will
be the most popular color of roses.
They are truly a classic.

They garner a higher demand around Valentines.
Comparatively, 3 to 1 over other colors such
as yellow or pink.
Especially around the rose holiday known
as Valentine's day.

Some of the more noted varieties in red
among florists are Charlottes
Freedom, Classy, Rose Bagier,
Black Magic with Rose Bagier usually
being the biggest head and longest stemmed.

Some of our favorite colors in yellows
were Alsmeers Gold, Judy, and Skyline.

Some of our favorite colors in pinks
were Peekabou, Hot Princess, Anna
Vogue, Raphaella. These range from
regular pink, to hot pink tones to corals.

Our favorites in white colors were
Virginias,and Escimo.

Our favorites in purple or lavendar
are Blue Bird and Sterling.


Then there are the bi-colors, or two tones
such as Confetti, Anna, Lipstick, Millenium
Intuition, Fire and Ice, and perfect for
the fall season or anything masculine, Leonitus.

Somtimes we would sell a blend of tones in roses.
Start with red and then add a dark pink then lighter.
This can be done with any colors. Just mind the shades
of tones and make sure they blend well.

Do not be afraid to try new colors and varieties.
We found that some other people liked the nice
varieties that we sold after they tried them and saw
they were a quality rose also.

Mainly, if the roses start fresh, and are processed
correctly, you will have far better results and much
happier relationships with consumers.
