Am trying to sort out pale/blush pink roses to do a handtied for my friend's sister to chuck at her wedding. She has got a "Crystal Bouquet" to march up the aisle with.Can any of you experienced girlies out there give me a few names/ options of colours to research and advise roughly how many for the actual bq, one of my tutors can source then for me hopefully but some advice would be really helpful Ta! Also my friend would like two colours of rose in the bq so the more options you can give me the better

ok here goes there are loads

pale pink - heaven
a little lighter - sweet akito (love it)
PINK- aqua
dark pink (perfumed)- milno

others a soft pink large head - sweet avalanche

For blush pink I love Sweet Avalanche, it's my favourite, all my brides are having it this year haha. Not sure what other pink it goes with though, we use it mainly with whites and creams.

We had one called Keano last week, that was lovely, mid dusky pink, large head, really scrummy. That would prob go with Heaven.

hi i know its late but sweet akito are really sweet baby blush sort of pink hope this helps

Thanks a million folks just have to get some images now, could really do with a good up to date rose book for reference any suggestions?

Our dutchman got us one, maybe your college tutor could help. There are some useful websites listed elsewhere on this forum too.

speak to your wholesaler and remind him the more choice you have the more sales he gets and be firm other wise its the holland flower council and that akes agesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssss

Thanks rosa will have a gander when i have more time

illusion is also a nice one.. it has a more antique look and comes fully blown.
i love it. but it bruises quite badly, so may not be ideal for this kinda thing.

oh i love illusion fab as everyone is a different colour yummy
