Regal Soft Pink Perfection

Meet Queen of Sweden, a rose of unparalleled poise and symmetry that is guaranteed to elevate your floral designs. We are extremely lucky to be able to offer our customers these exceptional, locally grown British beauties. This exquisite garden rose features the most gorgeous soft pink tones, beginning as charming little buds before opening into a perfectly formed, upward-facing chalice. As the soft cupped flowers mature, they gracefully expand into a wide, shallow bloom with an immaculate, classic formation. Complete with a delicate classic myrrh fragrance, she brings a refined, stately elegance to the workbench.

Fresh British Garden Rose Care & Conditioning

To get the absolute best vase life from your British-grown garden roses, a little professional care goes a long way. Because these are authentic, field-grown blooms, they have a fleeting and delicate lifespan once cut. To guarantee they arrive safely, your roses are hand-wrapped in protective greaseproof paper and dispatched fresh from local fields. They will arrive as a mix of a few open flowers and plenty of tight, fresh buds.

Follow these essential conditioning steps immediately upon delivery:

• The Golden Rule (Debudding): Because these roses move quickly, you will likely see a few fully opened flowers on arrival. Always gently debud (remove) these open flowers first. Removing the dominant, open blooms redirects the stem's energy and encourages the remaining tight buds to open beautifully.
• Clean and Snip: Give the stems a clean, diagonal snip with sharp shears to maximize water uptake.
• Strip the Foliage: Strip any lower foliage or thorns that would sit beneath the water line to prevent bacterial growth.
• Hydrate and Condition: Plunge the stems straight into deep, clean water conditioned with professional flower food. See all our conditioning products here.
• Rest: Keep them wrapped in their greaseproof paper in a cool, dark room for a few hours to hydrate fully before styling. Always keep them away from direct heat, bright sunlight, or drafts to prevent premature opening.

Locally Grown Wholesale Roses for Weddings & Events

The Queen of Sweden rose is a dream come true for wedding florists and event designers who require a soft pink rose that holds its head high. Unlike many traditional garden roses that tend to nod or drape, this variety boasts remarkably upright, sturdy stems, making them exceptionally easy to design with in formal bridal bouquets, low table bowls, and structural installations. Their classic, subtle pink coloration acts as a perfect neutral palette, blending seamlessly with creams, whites, deep berries, or trailing eucalyptus foliage. Grown sustainably right here in the UK, they offer an exquisite, fresh-from-the-field charm that rigid imports simply cannot match.
