ROSES Part one

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet."

                               William Shakespeare


So true, but since I have started a career in floral design, there had been probably a dozen rose trends and breeds that have come and go. It's become quite a challenge just keeping up with names and colors. For some time "Black Magic: was the star, before that there was the "Sterling" a fragrant lavender rose and the "Fire and Ice" which is a two tone red and yellow-range rose. After fire and ice came "Ambiance" then "Circus" both breeds in a similar shade of "fire and Ice" These days a Rose doesn't seem to have the time to shine until a new rose comes out to overshadow it's uniqueness, color and novelty.

So if you are a rose lover and planning a wedding, guess what, you are in luck, because no matter what shade a bridesmaids dress you choose, most likely, there will be a rose that will compliment or  "close enough" shade to match your color selection. A rose is the one type of flower that has the widest variety of shade and hues

Flowers and plants follow fashion trends. Remember the "Green" (color) trend, I believe gave birth to "Super Green"  and "Green Tea" roses. Purple is very hot right now, I predict we will see a new breed
of rose that will be darker than all the shades of lavender avilable now.
