David Austin Roses
Hi, Anyone any experience with the cottage garden roses from David Austin? Have to use them for a wedding, they state that they have a vase life of 5 days or longer, I can't quite see it myself. Want to be really sure before I order or promise them.

I've not used them personally, but I have spoken to a florist that did last summer.

She got them in on the Thursday for a Sat wedding and said she wished she'd got them a day or so earlier as they were quite tight and needed that extra day or so.

I believe there's a min order of 80 stems so make sure you take that into account when you're pricing it up.

I suspect if you enlightened your brides as to where they where grown, 90% would change their minds. I have a feeling the attraction is 'old English roses'
