Spray Rose Blanche

It's time for you to meet a spray rose that'll deliver outstanding results in beautiful floral compositions. Spray Rose Blanche by Alexandra Farms is a white spray rose developed for designers who prioritize clarity, consistency, and structural reliability. Its color sits in a controlled spectrum of white with a muted cream center and a touch of green at the outer petals. Sounds creamy and like a rose that has already become a favorite among many floral designers!

The Rise of Blanche – A White Star By Alexandra Farms Built for Today’s Florists

As the only grower in the world who grows Blanche Spr, this pure white spray rose spreads her petals wide over about five days, forming a shallow cup with an expansive display. This beauty has a hint of cream in the center and the palest green tint in her outermost petals. The tone remains stable under daylight, indoor lighting, and photography conditions, which makes it useful for installations where color accuracy matters.

 

Blanche Spr explained in detail by Joey Azout, President of Alexandra Farms

 

Blanche holds the 'white star' position in Alexandra Farms’ spray-garden lineup for one core reason: it fills a gap for floral designers when looking for a reliable, true-white spray rose that behaves consistently in professional hands. Most white sprays drift cream, open unevenly, or collapse once fully expanded. Blanche doesn’t. Its value lies in its opening, color, and shape, making it a standout in the world of spray roses.

Reasons Why You Need Blanche Spr in Your Next Floral Compositions

Besides being a spray rose that won an award at Proflora 2023. Besides having a petal count of 30 and a vase life of 10 days, here are other reasons why you need this white stunner for any arrangement or bouquet.

1. True-White Color Without Drift

Designers dealing with white-on-white palettes need accuracy. Blanche keeps its tone stable from bud to full expansion, avoiding the beige or green tint common in spray varieties. That reliability is rare enough to make it a flagship.

2. Garden-Style Form in a Spray Structure

Most garden-style whites are sold as standard stems, not sprays. Blanche delivers the layered, rounded garden look but in a branch-like spray format that speeds up production and fills space more efficiently. That hybrid identity is what makes it special.

3. High Petal Count With Clean Spacing

A spray rose is only useful if its branching is workable. Blanche’s structure keeps blooms separated rather than clustered in an unusable clump. It opens in a controlled sequence, giving designers more surface area and better visual balance.

4. Strong Petal Integrity at Full Open

Many white sprays blow open and collapse. Blanche holds its shape even when fully expanded, keeping edges smooth and preventing the “crumpled” look that ruins photos and installations. That durability is part of why florists keep calling it a star.

5. Consistency Across Boxes and Seasons

Alexandra Farms is known for tight quality control, but Blanche has proven unusually stable even by their standards – form, color, and opening behavior stay consistent. That predictable performance is why it rises to the top of their spray category.

FAQ

What makes Blanche Spr different from other white spray roses?

Blanche stands out because it stays truly white from start to finish. While most spray roses drift toward cream or green, Blanche maintains consistent color, shape, and opening behavior – even under studio lighting or outdoor conditions.

How long does Blanche Spr last once arranged?

Blanche offers an average vase life of around 10 days. It holds its form at full open, which means it stays photo-ready longer than many spray varieties that collapse once expanded.

Is Blanche suitable for large-scale installations?

Yes. Blanche’s stable tone, reliable branching, and strong petal integrity make it ideal for arches, aisle pieces, suspended designs, and compositions that require color uniformity and durability.

How does Blanche perform in all-white or neutral palettes?

Because its color doesn’t drift, Blanche is one of the few white sprays that keeps a clean white profile from bud stage to full bloom. This makes it particularly reliable for tonal palettes where color variations would be distracting.

Does Blanche Spr need special conditioning?

Not beyond standard spray-rose hydration. It responds well to normal florist prep – clean cuts, fresh water, and good airflow. No special handling is required to achieve its full, wide-opening form.
