This was my first experience receiving flowers from Harvest and I have to say that I am extremely impressed. The roses were well packed and all appeared very healthy when they arrived in Denver for the study. For the rose study I received 225 stems and not one of them had that “bent neck” problem! Every single rose opened up beautifully and consistently. The vase life was about 7-10 days.

  1. Absolutely beautiful! So helpful to see these side by side. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  2. Beautiful! Love the shape of that High Intense rose. And the Naranga has such a perfect red-orange color. Thanks so much for these studies. They’re so helpful!

  3. WOW!! Amazing post Alicia & Chuck! Thank you for taking the time to do this experiment and document it beautifully. Can’t wait to share with my readers…extremely helpful!

    1. Amy, thank you sooo much for sharing the Orange Rose Study with your readers!! We appreciate you so much πŸ™‚

  4. I absolutely love these flower studies. So much more helpful than looking at a list of 20+ roses when trying to pick the perfect shade and shape! I’m digging those free spirits!!

    1. Chandin, I agree! It’s so hard to look at the roses wrapped up at the wholesaler and try to guess what they’ll look like when they open up!! The Free Spirits are gorgeous, I used them in a wedding last weekend and they definitely completed the design with those ruffly petals.

    1. Hey Dore, The High Intense was gorgeous, quite Intense! I do believe I’ve seen High Intense at our local wholesalers, slightly different shape than the ones featured from Harvest.

  5. Wow, Alicia!
    What a gorgeous study of orange roses!
    I had no idea there was that much variety!
    Beautiful photos.

    Wishing you all the best,

  6. I’m late on this, but what a great study!! Thank you for doing this. I agree, it’s so helpful to have this as a tool when ordering and picking at market. Sometimes my fried brain can’t remember all the names and how they behave, and now I can go back to this.

  7. I love orange roses. I linked my post today, called “Looking for That Perfect Orange Rose” to this post. Thanks for sharing!
