Spray roses

Among the myriad flowers I’ve worked with as a florist, spray roses hold a special place in my heart — and, I dare say, in my creations. These charming clusters of small blooms have revolutionized floral design worldwide. Whether gracing a wedding bouquet or enhancing a formal event, spray roses effortlessly blend elegance with a touch of playfulness.

Also known as sweetheart roses or miniature roses, spray roses are prized for their multiple small flowers on a single stem. Their color palette spans from traditional whites and pinks to vibrant oranges and deep reds.

Spray roses shine in rustic and garden-style arrangements. Their natural, clustered appearance pairs beautifully with wildflowers and greenery, evoking a fresh-from-the-garden feel. For bohemian or vintage-themed weddings, spray roses are my go-to choice, infusing arrangements with an effortless, romantic vibe.

In corporate settings, spray roses strike a balance between professionalism and approachability. Their neat, compact clusters work well in structured arrangements, and their wide color range allows easy coordination with brand colors or office decor. I often use them in low, wide arrangements for conference tables or reception areas, where their beauty doesn’t obstruct views.

Spray roses also excel at filling space. Their lovely appearance allows for over-the-top bouquets without breaking the bank. I frequently combine spray roses with larger focal flowers like peonies or hydrangeas, achieving a softer look and improved bouquet structure.

Beyond their beauty, spray roses are highly functional. These hardy flowers can last up to two weeks in a vase when well cared for.

Additionally, spray roses align with environmentally friendly floral design. Their long vase life and ability to create full-looking arrangements with fewer stems make them an attractive choice for clients who prioritize eco-consciousness.
