Garden Rose White Candlelight 100 stems
The Candlelight garden rose is a breathtaking variety known for its creamy white petals that can appear soft yellow when first opening. As the bloom matures, it transitions into a true white, making it a versatile choice for floral arrangements.
This rose is admired for its large, cup-shaped blooms with a high petal count, giving it a lush, romantic appearance. It has a medium bloom size and a vase life of 7-9 days, making it a long-lasting option for bouquets. The petals open gradually over 4-6 days, allowing for a stunning transformation in color and shape.
Candlelight roses are often used in weddings and elegant floral designs, thanks to their timeless beauty and subtle fragrance. Their ability to shift between creamy yellow and pure white makes them a great transitional flower in arrangements
