Avid rose gardeners love the beauty and elegance of roses. With hundreds, if not thousands, of named rose cultivars to choose from it’s understandable that some may be overwhelmed by the options. Color, fragrance, and size all play a major role in selecting roses for the garden. If you want rose varieties that work well in cut flower arranging, you'll have even more to consider before planting. Learning more about the most beautiful roses available, home gardeners and florists can best choose those that are ideal for their intended use.
Beautiful Rose Varieties
When it comes to selecting the most beautiful roses, it is essential to consider your own personal preferences and style. Choosing garden roses also requires that growers pay close attention to growth requirements for each species as well as the bloom season. Since beautiful, romantic roses are popular for use in floral arranging and design, it will be imperative to choose cultivars whose beauty and elegance combine with an extended vase life.
In addition to vase life, those wishing to grow their own roses should look for varieties that repeat bloom throughout the growing season. Tall, strong stems are essential for a cutting garden if they're being grown for arrangements. While climbing or rambling roses can be quite beautiful when grown over garden trellises, they're not ideal for use in vases. Instead, gardeners should consider shrub-form roses like floribundas and hybrid tea roses.
Gifting roses on special occasions is a great way to show loved ones that they are cared for. Unfortunately, many holidays fall during a time when garden roses may not be available locally, which is why florists are so commonly relied on to help select the best roses for Valentine’s Day.
While the most beautiful roses come in a wide range of colors, red and pink shades of roses are by far the most popular. When choosing a bouquet, look for roses with large double blooms, which have an exceedingly high petal count. This will ensure that any arrangement will look elegant and expensive. Here's a list of beautiful roses:
