When Are Garden Roses In Season

This wedding season will be more fragrant, more nostalgic, and more romantic. Our weekly garden rose program has been a success since partnering with Alexandra Farms based in Colombia. The quality and freshness of the product is outstanding, and Jose Azout's passion for cultivating these highly regarded roses is one reason we sought Alexandra Farms as our supplier.

Garden roses will be at peak demand for weddings and events. We recommend booking early in the season to accommodate your design needs. Your account manager will need a list of varieties about two or three weeks before the occasion to coordinate with the purchasing department. Tip: Create a backup list of floral varieties. In the event we do not have availability, we can substitute the variety with another flower.

Some of the classic colors requested for weddings are pastels, coral and peach. We will have popular varieties throughout the garden rose season from April 1st through October 31st, 2015.
