Avalanche roses are one of our favorite flowers. The avalanche rose is a popular type of cut flower that is known for its large, white blooms and long vase life. These roses are hybrid tea roses, which means they have a classic, high-centered bloom shape. Because of its elegance, long vase life & versatility, it is one of the Daily Flowers florist team’s favorite flowers.
History of Avalanche Roses
The Avalanche rose was first bred in the Netherlands in the late 1980s. It was created by a team of breeders, who were looking to develop a white rose with a long vase life that could be grown year-round. After several years of experimentation, they succeeded in developing the Avalanche rose, which quickly became popular in the cut flower industry. It is one of the most popular wedding flowers. This is because of their variety in pastel and white colors.
Characteristics of Avalanche Roses
Avalanche roses are known for their large, pure blooms that have a subtle fragrance. They typically have long stems that make them ideal for use in floral arrangements. They are also known for their long vase life, with blooms lasting up to two weeks when following the Daily Flowers care instruction.
Growing Avalanche Roses
Avalanche roses are grown commercially in greenhouses and require much care and attention to grow. They prefer well-draining soil and should be planted in an area that receives full sun. They also require regular watering and fertilization to promote healthy growth and strong blooms. All the avalanche roses we use are from the most high-end avalanche grower, Meijer roses. Meijer roses growers are known to strive for only the best quality.
Avalanche roses can also be grown in home gardens. However, they require a bit more attention than other types of roses, so they may not be the best choice for regular gardeners.
