Effie David Austin Garden Roses - Require 7 Days Advance Notice Effie is a beautiful, multi-tonal David Austin garden rose. Beginning as a creamy colored bud, Effie unfolds to reveal a heart of buttery yellow, dusty apricot and zesty tangerine. From a small cupped bloom, Effie's many swirling petals (@ 130 per flower) gradually open into a perfectly formed, large rosette, showcasing her splendor. She blends beautifully with an amazing number of color palettes, but she looks magnificent mixed with spicy reds, greens, chocolates and golds - which makes her a very popular rose for today's modern brides and event planners. And if her color and perfectly rounded large, cupped rosette bloom wasn't enough to entice you, Effie conveys a lovely scent of tea. With proper care, Effie has a vase life of @ 8 days. We grow our beautiful garden roses in the high altitudes of South America. This environment allows our farms to grow stronger, more reliable and longer lasting roses that produce larger heads filled and more petals. The blooms on these roses open up more slowly, creating a longer lasting bloom. Our roses are shipped directly from the farm, making them extremely fresh!! They are cut and shipped the same day ensuring their quality and freshness. We are so sure you will love your flowers that we provide you with a 100% guarantee of their quality. All of our roses are grown on environmentally friendly, Rain Forest Certified and Socially Responsible Farms. Our Wholesale Garden Roses will arrive in wrapped bunches of 12 roses each; strapped and secured in specially designed boxes to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Garden roses are harvested at a specific point and then wrapped within a cardboard sleeve to ensure they are not damaged during the shipping process. In addition, to protect the flowers during shipping, our Roses are shipped with their guard petals still attached. All roses have several outer petals that surround the rose blooms - which may appear bruised, torn or discolored upon arrival. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove these few outer petals once you have finished hydrating the roses. It is not uncommon for each rose bloom to have 5 - 10 guard petals. Because our roses are the freshest available, they will most likely arrive in bud form and may need a three or four days to open up. Given the proper water, food and care, our garden roses will bloom and perform incredibly - growing 4 - 5 times their original size. Most of our garden roses will be at their best 3-4 days after being placed in water. Garden roses are loved for their large, romantic blooms - so allowing at least 3 days for them to open fully before your event date will make a big difference. As such, we recommend that you have your roses delivered 3-4 days BEFORE your event date to ensure they are fully open. Despite their fragile appearance, Garden Roses are a very hardy flower, but they will need to be properly hydrated once they arrive. It is perfectly normal for Garden Roses to look thirsty or "tired" upon arrival. They will perk up once they receive a "fresh cut" to their stems and have time to drink up fresh water. For your Garden Roses to look their best, we highly recommend you follow our care instructions on the Flower Care tab above. Wholesale Effie David Austin Garden Roses Require 7 Days Advance Notice!
