Bloomsbury Garden Rose — Rich Pink‑Berry Garden Roses Wholesale & Bulk
Rich Pink‑Berry Garden Roses with Lush, Ruffled Petals
A dimensional, expressive bloom perfect for elevated floral design.
Bloomsbury Garden Rose features rich pink‑berry petals, a full ruffled bloom, and a deeply romantic garden‑rose silhouette. A premium designer variety ideal for weddings, bouquets, and bold, modern romantic palettes.
Bloomsbury is a refined garden rose with a soft apricot-pink hue that deepens as the bloom matures, often revealing a subtle green button center. Its petals are densely layered in a classic rosette shape, giving it a plush, romantic appearance that suits both vintage and modern floral designs. The bloom size typically ranges from 8 to 10 centimeters, offering a generous presence in arrangements.
This variety is known for its sweet fragrance and excellent vase life, often lasting up to two weeks with proper care. Its strong stems and repeat blooming habit make it a reliable choice for weddings, upscale events, and premium retail bouquets. Bloomsbury pairs beautifully with blush tones, creams, and soft greens, and it adds a touch of elegance to both structured and organic compositions.
