The roses are listed in colour groups. Bear in mind that garden roses, David Austin roses in particular, take on differing hues as the seasons and weather change.
We can produce an abundance of one particular rose if we are given at least 8 weeks notice. Fresh rose petals can be from one colour group, or we can combine multi-coloured petals for you. Dried rose petals, or confetti, are available all year round and it is most often supplied in a particular colour, or a colour group. We can, with 8 weeks notice, provide you a particular rose for your fresh petals and for dried petals.

These are gathered fresh from the rose gardens, sorted and then packaged for delivery. We can supply decorative cones as containers or we can design something for you.
The petals are available in a single colour or a blend of colours.
Allow for at least 20gms of petals per guest for throwing - which is the equivalent of one fully open rose. If you are having fresh petals sprinkled down the aisle, 20gms of petals will cover 1m x 50cm nicely.
The petals will keep overnight in a refrigerator, and we suggest you keep them sealed in their delivery box until you are ready to use them. A more simple but charming idea is to put the petals into two or three baskets and have these baskets offered to guests just before the bride and groom come back down the aisle - guests are invited to take handfuls from the basket ready to throw. Again, allow 20gms of petals per handful.
Fresh petals are $2.75 per 20grams, plus delivery charges.
Fresh petals are dried only with warmed air and contain no chemicals or preservatives. They are a beautiful addition to table settings, ideal for confetti and are very environmentally friendly. They are available in your preferred colour, a mix of two or three colours, or a multi coloured assortment.
Dried petals are $2.75 per 20grams, plus delivery charges
