About Spray Roses

Spray roses are a smaller, multi-bloom variety of traditional roses, offering several rosebuds per stem. These clustered blooms create a natural, garden-fresh feel and work beautifully as filler or even focal flowers in compact designs. Spray roses symbolize admiration, gratitude, and sweetness, making them especially meaningful in wedding arrangements. Their soft size and abundant petals make them ideal for layering into bridal work or adding dimension to larger installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many spray rose stems do I need for a bridal bouquet?

Because each stem has multiple blooms, 8–12 stems can provide soft volume in a bouquet. Use more if spray roses are the main flower, or fewer if you're combining them with larger blooms like garden roses or peonies.

How long do spray roses last once delivered?

Spray roses typically last 5–10 days. They may arrive closed to protect the petals during shipping, but once rehydrated, they’ll open beautifully within 24–48 hours.

Can spray roses be used in boutonnieres or flower crowns?

Yes! Their small size and sturdy blooms make them perfect for detailed work like boutonnieres, corsages, and crowns. They hold up well out of water for several hours, especially if hydrated well beforehand.

What’s the difference between standard and spray roses?

Standard roses have one large bloom per stem, while spray roses have several smaller blooms clustered on a single stem. Spray roses are ideal for filling out arrangements and adding detail, while standard roses serve as larger focal flowers.

Do spray roses need any special care after arrival?

Remove lower leaves, cut stems at an angle, and place immediately in clean, cool water. Allow them to hydrate for several hours so blooms can open. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or warm areas during storage.

Are spray roses available year-round?

Yes. Spray roses are greenhouse-grown and widely available year-round. Color availability may vary slightly by season, but core wedding shades like white, blush, and peach are consistently stocked.
