Rose Garden, Beatrice-CA

One of David Austin’s® first yellow cut roses. With its rich coloring and delightful scent, it is ideal for summer weddings and events. Beatrice’s large blooms are held on strong upright stems. They begin as ruffled cups, opening to classic rosettes with petals radiating from the center of each bloom in a loose swirl, creating a natural garden rose appearance. Like many true garden roses, Beatrice has varying tones. Sometimes it’s pure, clear yellow, with paler outer petals. At other times of the year, it is almost two-toned with a dark, almost apricot core and lighter, yellow exterior petals. The fragrance is strong and delicious with hints of honey, lilac, and almond. Garden roses come 12 stems in a bunch. Available year-round. Allow up to 4 days to open.

Once the roses arrive:

1. Unpack your roses as soon as possible.
2. Keep the packaging in place, to support the stems during hydration.
3. Cut about 1″ from the base of each stem.
4. Place the stems in water with flower food to aid hydration, improve opening and increase vase life.
5. Rehydrate stems for 4-6 hours in the coolest place possible.
6. After hydration, remove all packaging. Space the stems in the buckets of water to make room for the blooms to open. Retain guard petals as they will disappear as the bloom opens.
7. Place the stems in an ambient room temperature to encourage opening.
8. Opening will take about 2 days. Once opened, place back in a cool area until you are ready to work with them.
