David Austin Garden wedding roses

Inspired by his success in breeding roses for the garden, in 1995 David Austin Snr. and David Austin Jnr. began working together to create a new range of cut roses to use in floristry, for weddings and special events. The collection of 17 exceptional cut roses are capable of creating inspirational arrangements, bouquets and bridal flowers. If you are a bride-to-be, floral designer or simply love flowers, David Austin’s wedding and event roses are something quite special that truly do justice to a person that you love or a special moment in our lives.

The particular characteristics that make each of their roses unique and instantly recognisable are no accident. The shape, colour, and scent are all considered with an obsessive attention to detail. Only the very best will receive the David Austin hallmark and be included within their collection.

Why Are Garden Roses So Popular For Wedding And Event Designs?

This question and it shouldn’t be a surprise that Garden Roses are so popular for weddings. They are romantic and seem to have an everlasting sentiment that you want to continue throughout the life of your relationship.

They are also popular, because many parks of rose gardens can be found everywhere, so it would seem a natural selection for Wedding Flowers.

There are many different varieties, and the fragrant ones are well sought for in the wedding ceremony from the Wedding Bouquet, Floral Crown, Flower Wall, and more.

Not only do they smell refreshing, but they also have a very nice Vase Life of about 10 days, although some varieties can last up to 21 days when properly cared for.

Not only are there several different varieties such as David Austin Roses, but a broad color palette, lending to the inspiration of many different wedding themes and wedding colours.

Garden Roses VS Roses

Now you might be thinking, what is the difference between regular roses and garden roses? because sometimes they get misidentified.

“Standard roses have pointed shape petals rotated around one center while Garden roses have ruffled petals swirling around different centers to form a rounded bloom”

In short, Garden Roses are often selected for their magnificent appearance in vases due to their larger size and fuller look.

Garden Roses Vs Peonies

When it comes to cost, many will prefer Garden Roses over Peonies because they are more affordable.

They are very similar in size, shape, and color, however, it might be important to note some of the differences when making your considerations, such as:

• Garden Roses have fewer petals (20-25) per stem, while Peonies have 40-50 per stem.
• Garden Roses typically open their petals sooner than Peonies, so this is something to consider when ordering for the way you want your heads to appear in your Floral Arrangements.
• Since Peonies are seasonal, and not as common as roses, they are far more expensive.
• Garden Roses have a stronger, sweeter scent, while a peony is a bit more subtle and lighter in fragrance.
• Garden Roses tend to be a bit smaller than peonies, but both have a very long vase life.

If you want to make the ultimate arrangement, you may even consider a Peonies And Roses Bouquet. They really look spectacular together, especially peonies paired with White and Pink Garden roses.

Why Are Garden Roses So Expensive?

This leads us to the last question, and of course, they are considered a luxury flower and in very high demand during the wedding season. They have a lengthier production process, and so, having them in larger supply makes it a bit more challenging.
