Arrangements with Spray Roses

Spray roses are a delightful variety of the beloved rose, known for their clusters of small blooms that adorn each stem. These dainty flowers are often used as filler flowers in bouquets and arrangements, adding texture and volume. Their blooms are typically smaller than standard roses, but they make up for their size with abundant clusters that create a lush, full appearance.

Spray roses come in a wide array of colors, including classic reds, soft pinks, vibrant oranges, and pure whites, making them versatile for any occasion. They are particularly popular in wedding bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres due to their delicate charm and romantic appeal.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, spray roses hold cultural significance, symbolizing gratitude, appreciation, and joy. Their compact size and varied colors make them a favorite choice for expressing a range of emotions in floral language.

To ensure your spray roses last as long as possible, start by trimming the stems at a 45-degree angle under running water to prevent air from entering the stems. Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth.

Place the roses in a clean vase filled with fresh, lukewarm water and add a floral preservative if available. Change the water every two to three days, and re-trim the stems to maintain water uptake. Keep the arrangement in a cool area away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruits, which can release ethylene gas and shorten the flowers' lifespan.
