Variety: Caffe Latte Day 3 – these fall under garden roses so each bloom opens slightly differently, some are 2.5” wide and some are 3”. The outer petals are very floppy, which adds to its garden rose nature. Day 7 – I would describe the color as dusty – muddy lavender with hints of brown. If you are familiar at all with the garden rose ‘Koko Loko’ this Caffe Latte has a lot of similar color attributes. The petals are very soft, as garden rose petals tend to be and looks like it will bruise easily so be sure to handle with care. Variety: Camel Day 3– this is my first experience with Camel and I must say I think it’s a fun little rose. It has a shallow depth and opens wide. This would be a great rose for bridal work. I like the variety of peach hues in each bloom. Day 7 – I’m smitten with this rose. Yep, smitten. It is SO sweet. It’s a petite bloom that opens beautifully. On day 7 most of the blooms are still going strong and I think I’ll get a few more days out of this pretty little one. I would definitely use this one in bridal work – great size and shape for bouquets. I love how the peach coloring has so much depth to it. Day 10 – I’m happy to report that Camel is still going strong on day 10 – especially happy that they’ll continue to grace my desk with their presence. This is just the sweetest rose! Variety: Cappuccino Day 3 – This is a fun rose to watch open up. It’s bloom is shallow and it is petite in size overall. Would be a good rose for bridal work. Day 7 – About half of the blooms have wilted, so I would say it’s vase life is about 5-6 days. This is a fun rose that would be great in bridal work, centerpiece work, and potentially in pieces to wear like boutonnieres. Day 8 – They are done…. Variety: Caramel Antike Day 3 – this rose is still opening, which is to be expected with a garden rose variety. Day 7 – I would describe the color of this Caramel Antike as having a golden tone. I mentioned in the video that I’m more familiar with the Caramel Antike grown by Alexandra Farms and this is my first time with the Caramel Antike grown by Agri Rose. I find the one grown by Alexandra Farms has a bit more brown tone to it, whereas this one by Agri Rose lends itself towards the golden tone. Day 9 – Petals are dropping and they are done. Variety: Coffee Break Day 7 – Coffee Break offers a very rich and warm hue, it is a dark terra cotta color. Great for autumn weddings or events that need a punch of dark and rich color. The blooms don’t open very much from the time they first arrived and the blooms are measuring at 3” in width. Day 10 – Coffee Break blooms are still going strong. Of the 25 stems I’d say maybe 2-3 are starting to wilt and all the others look the same as they did 3 days ago. A great rose for flower shops who need a longer vase life! Variety: Combo Day 3 – This rose is amazing. I’m so taken with its beautiful bloom shape. On day three there is a variance in how the blooms open as some are measuring 3” wide and some are 5” wide. Day 7 – About half of the blooms have wilted. This rose is a true beauty and so fascinating in its color range – its rusty, its muddy, its copper, golden, brown all wrapped into one. Its rich and sultry and deserves the long stare it surely gets from the people viewing it! The blooms range in size from about 3.5 to 5” in width. Day 10 – About 8 blooms are still holding on, but for the most part they are done. Variety: Leonidas Day 3 – Only about half of the blooms have opened to 3” wide and half are still at 1.5” size. Day 7 – About half of the stems have wilted. For the most part the blooms have opened to about 3” in width, a few of the blooms never did open past the initial 2” width they were at when they arrived a week ago. The color is a much duller terra cotta color compared to Coffee Break. The duller color could be good if you desire warmth in the bouquet, but not as bold as Coffee Break which will demand more attention in arrangements. Day 8 – They are done, heads are flopping down. Variety: Menta Day 3 – quite a range in size between the 25 stems anywhere from 2” – 4” wide. Day 7 – Menta is a sturdy looking rose. I would describe the color as very light lavender, the absolute palest lavender it can be before it would be described as not having color. The shape is a beautiful rosette and there is a range in bloom size from 2-4” in width. Day 10 – They are done. 3-4 blooms are hanging in there, but for the most part they have wilted and are done… Variety: Sahara Day 3 – This particular bunch doesn’t appear to be performing well. I’ve had a lot of experience with this rose and typically it opens consistently to 3” wide. Day 7 – Unfortunately, all 25 stems have wilted. Abnormal for Sahara rose from what I have experienced in the past. Variety: Sandy Day 3 – of the 20 blooms very few have budged open to 4” wide. I’m curious to see if they open more or if they stay closed up. Day 7 – Sandy is a good name for this rose as the color could be described as Sandy, perhaps a little more blush than say Sahara. The outer petals have a green cast to them. The blooms never did open up much, yet it is a big rose. The vase life appears to be strong as all blooms look fine on day 7. Day 10 – I’ll be darned, Sandy is still going strong! Overall the blooms never did open up more than the day they arrived, but they are all standing up straight on day 10. Variety: Toffee Day 3 – The 25 blooms have all opened up nicely to a consistent 3.5” wide. Day 7 – I’m completely taken with this rose. I’ve seen it online, but this is my first time seeing it in person. I’m completely smitten and want to have a bunch of these roses on my desk every single week. The color is fascinating, it really is brown and has the most interesting twirling center petals. On day 7 all 25 blooms are going strong with each rose opening 3.5-4.5” in width. Day 10 – About half of the blooms are now wilting. I am so taken with this rose and I don’t want to let them go!!! Variety: Quicksand Day 3 – These were all fully open to a consistent 4” wide, some were even 5” wide from petal tip to petal tip. Day 7 – Quicksand is going strong! On day 7 maybe 2-3 blooms are starting to fade, but not bad enough to remove them from the vase. This is a great rose for both event work and shop work. The blooms open up consistently to measure 4.5” in width and the color is a lovely blush pink. The blooms are so perfect that they look like porcelain in the vase and in photographs. I wouldn’t hesitate in giving a bouquet of only Quicksand roses as a gift as it is so beautiful. Day 10 – A few blooms remain, but for the most part the Quicksands are wilting and about to be done. I will miss this beauty gracing my desk! Details about all the roses in this study: from https://flirtyfleurs.com/brown-rose-color-study-with-mayesh-wholesale/ I am thrilled to share that this Spring I will be holding a 3 Day Wedding Workshop! Get those pens and notebooks ready as together we will cover care & handling of flowers and the ordering process for weddings. Plus, we will discuss the pricing of flowers and weddings – a very important topic that unfortunately so many people shy away from! For the design portion of the workshop we will create bridal bouquets, bridesmaids bouquets, compote styled centerpieces, corsages, boutonnieres, flower halos & combs, a ceremony backdrop, and large ceremony arrangements. This workshop is designed for both budding and experienced florists who are looking to be inspired and learn. All instruction for designs will be done in a step-by-step fashion.

Click here to watch: And don’t forget to leave a comment to tell me whether you agree! Thanks for taking the time to tune in and watch! Both of these questions came from a Flower Math student who enrolled in my course last month, but if you have a question you’d like answered in an upcoming guest post, please feel free to leave a comment below.
