Quantity Recommendations Based On Our Design Suggestions:
Garden roses are considered luxury flowers mainly used in bridal bouquets, short compote gardens, and classic-style centerpieces.
Some garden roses, such as Ohara Garden roses, come in a bunch of 25 stems. However, Juliet’s garden roses come in a bunch of 12 stems. When using expensive garden roses, we recommend that you create your recipes while keeping the bunch quantity in mind and not overordering.
Example #1 For The Designing Bouquet With Juliet Garden Roses:
- Bride’s Bouquet: 1
- Bridesmaid bouquet: 1
- if you use seven stems in a bridal bouquet, dedicate five stems to the bridesmaid’s bouquet (if there is only one bridesmaid).

When you use five stems in a bridal bouquet, having seven stems left over from a bunch, thus leaving to use three stems in each of the two bridesmaid bouquets.
Here are some suggestions and guidelines; however, you can design with any number of stems of Juliet garden roses as long as you are profitable when creating floral recipes.

If you want Pantone color for 2024 “Peach Fuzz” flowers, any of the above-suggested roses are worth adding to any bouquet’s floral recipes.
Juliet Garden Roses Care Before Designing Any Floral Bouquets:
Juliet garden roses are surely notorious for their thorns and short, thin stems, but they make up for this in their petal count and colors. Wear gloves while processing the garden roses. All garden roses like room-temperature to cool water. Fill your large, wide-mouth vase, such as 10- 12 inches high and 8 inches wide, or a short, wide-mouth bucket. Wider containers prevent the flower petals from getting damaged or bruised. Pulling out the stems with thorns when there is little room can damage the petals.
Transportation of the Designed Bouquets Not Just With Juliet Garden Rose But Any Boquet:
The final product delivered to the receipt should be in pristine condition; one way to ensure that is by using boxes for the bouquets.
