Rose Gold Dipped Flowers

Rose gold dipped flowers are popular choices of gifts over the fresh cut variety. If for nothing else, a rose gold dipped flower will last a lifetime compared to a just a few days for a flower that is removed from the garden and put in a vase.

With so many varieties of roses to choose from, how do you know what will work best in your garden? By doing some research into the different types of roses available, it will give you a better idea of where to begin.

Centifolia roses are also called ” Cabbage Roses” because their blossoms are distinctly shaped like a cabbage. They are usually pink in color and very fragrant with plants ranging in height from four to six inches. The blossoms are generally so heavy, they cause the plant’s branches to tip over under their weight. The history of the Centifolia rose has been much debated as it has been reported that the flower cane from wild roses that were once growing in Europe and Asia. Dutch masters often featured them in their paintings.

Damask roses (the name refers to Damascus, Syria) are from ancient times and are known mostly for their incredible smell. They are sometimes referred to as the ‘Rose of Castile.’ Damasks are hybrid roses which were made from crossing the species Rosa gallica with Rosa moschata. These roses can grow up to 7 feet in height and have dense, curved prickles. It is believed that the flower was brought from Persia to Europe by crusader Robert de Brie sometime between 1254 and 1276.

Within the old garden rose family/category, we find the Hybrid Gallica rose – the oldest of the “bred” roses in this family. They were a very popular rose in the 1700s through to the first half of the 1800s. Hybrid Gallicas bloom only once and have thorns which are fine to hair-like. They grow to four feet in height and have rough leaves with full, fragrant blooms. Gallicas come in the colors white, red, mauve, pink, crimson, and purple, in addition to blends [of these colors].

Hybrid tea roses are the ones that produce the roses with long stems. During their growing season, they grow individual blossoms and will flower over and over. They were created by cross-breeding two different types of rose. Hybrid teas are long, upright and straight, and grow up to six feet in height. Each bloom on a hybrid tea rose can be up to 5 inches in diameter. Because of the way in which their flowers form as well as their color, Hybrid tea roses are one of the most popular flowers, in particular as cut flowers.

So as to avoid the confusion and even the research required to plant a rose garden, a rose gold dipped flower makes it that much more simple to choose. All that’s required when picking out a rose gold dipped flower is decide on a color, a metal (24K gold, silver or platinum), and whether you prefer the flower bloom open or closed; perhaps you can even choose a mix of the two.
