Heirloom Roses – Summer’s Treat

Heirloom Roses – Summer’s Treat

The Heirloom Rose has always been one of my favorites for flower arrangements. They may look too delicate and worrisome to work with, but you would be pleasantly surprised by how hardy they are . . . and long-lasting.

 The particular variety in this design is called ‘Iceberg’, a hybrid tea-rose, remarkable by its ruffled white petals and yellow eye. As a plant, it’s a climbing rose vine that blooms in the summer months attracting butterflies, gardeners and designers with its beauty and light fragrance. It’s quite the treat creating designs with Iceberg roses. Their vine-like stems are easy to work with allowing for added movement and drama throughout the floral composition and their soft airy blooms bring a delicate touch with lots of bounce – perfect for a romantic bouquet or a dainty cottage design. No need to fuss with Iceberg stems; their natural beauty will do all the work for you!
