Café au Lait Rose
Caramel and café tones built round — the rose for people who think they don't like roses.
No online checkout — your order list becomes an enquiry, and a florist confirms flowers, price and delivery window in person.
What's in it
- café au lait dahlias
- caramel roses
- copper cosmos
- seeded eucalyptus
Wrap, ribbon and a hand-written card included. Contents follow the week's market — we confirm the final list before tying.
Caring for it
Garden roses are conditioned head-down in deep cool water for two hours before tying.
Recut 2cm off each stem at a steep angle and stand them in 8cm of cool water for two hours before arranging.
Garden roses drink fast. Top the vase daily rather than moving the bouquet; the heads last longest where the air is cool.
Remove any head that fades before its neighbours — the rest will follow the week, not the weakest stem.
Pet note. No lilies in this bouquet. We still keep bouquets out of reach of pets who chew — ask the bench for a fully pet-safe build if yours is a chewer.
Getting it there
Hand-tied at the bench, wrapped in the collection's paper, and delivered by our own van in New York same day when you order by 2pm ET. Nationwide, it travels next-day in a fitted box, stems in water pods, and never sits in a depot overnight.
Pair it with
A weighted footed bowl or a short cylinder — garden rose heads are heavy and will buckle in a tall thin vase. Pairs well with a candle rather than other flowers: this is the one bouquet that doesn't want company. If the room runs warm, ask us to send the buds half-closed; they open over the second and third day instead of peaking in the first evening.
When to send it. Birthday orders run heaviest on weekends — order Friday for Sunday.
Good to know
Café au Lait Rose runs Petite, Classic and Grand at $58, $88 and $142; the ladder buys stems, wrap and the hand-written card, and the difference between sizes is stem count, not flower grade. If the market runs short of café au lait dahlias that week, we name the substitute before tying and you can say no — we never swap quietly. Colour in life sits a shade warmer than on a screen; screens lie cool.
Warm brown-pink tones that sit well on wood and linen.
