Wintery White Standard and Garden Roses
Let's kick off with the single-stem roses Nova Vita and Cotopaxi. These will get you warmed up for the season.
Rose Nova Vita: Timeless Beauty With a Modern Twist
Winter is the time for classic white hues. Rose Nova Vita is a white standard rose that brings a fresh, contemporary feel to any floral design. Its soft white petals form tightly packed flowers that show white elegance, making it a popular choice for modern arrangements. With its impeccable shape and stunning presence, Rose Nova Vita can take center stage in any bouquet or complement other flowers seamlessly.
Rose Nova Vita retains its freshness longer than many other varieties, making it a reliable option for displays that need to last through multi-day celebrations, like in a wintery bouquet, festive centerpieces, or intricate floral installations. Rose Nova Vita’s pure white tone pairs beautifully with metallic accents, seasonal greens, and other soft-colored flowers. Its ability to adapt to different styles makes it a favorite for both traditional and modern aesthetics.
Rose Cotopaxi: A Bold Statement in White Elegance
Rose Cotopaxi is a bright white flower that proves that simplicity and size can deliver an equally stunning impact. Named after the famous Ecuadorian volcano, Cotopaxi brings grandeur to any arrangement with its full, classic blooms and pristine white petals.
Its sizeable, symmetrical petals create a commanding presence, making it ideal for focal points in bridal bouquets or grand centerpieces. The neutral white shade pairs effortlessly with bold seasonal accents like deep reds and lush greens, as well as with softer pastel tones for more delicate arrangements.
Rose Cotopaxi is especially striking when paired with textured foliage or used as the centerpiece in tall vase arrangements. Its long stems and robust structure ensure it holds up beautifully in complex floral installations, making it a reliable choice for luxury designs and high-impact displays. Whether you’re crafting an elegant winter wedding bouquet or a festive holiday display, Cotopaxi provides the classic touch that ties everything together.
Wintery White Spray Roses
There are white rose varieties that are small in size but big on impact: spray roses. Known for their clustered blooms and versatility, spray roses are a go-to for florists looking to elevate their arrangements. United Selections has two gorgeous sprays for you this winter: Wedding Blossoms and Snowy Blossoms. These varieties are perfect for the season, bringing a touch of winter magic to any bouquet or centerpiece.
Spray Rose Wedding Blossoms: A Romantic Staple
Wedding Blossoms is a spray rose that lives up to its name. Its creamy white petals unfurl into delicate rosettes, creating an ethereal look that’s tailor-made for romantic settings. This variety’s soft, warm undertones make it versatile enough to pair with almost any color palette—whether you’re going for bold reds and greens or keeping it neutral with silvers and golds.
Each stem produces multiple blooms that hold up beautifully in various arrangements, whether they’re part of a cascading bridal bouquet or adorning a holiday tablescape. That gives you more visual impact per stem—a win for both florists and budget-conscious clients.
While perfect for winter weddings, these spray roses are equally at home in spring or summer designs, making them a versatile addition to any florist’s repertoire.
Spray Rose Snowy Blossoms: The Essence of Winter's Beauty
If you’re looking for a spray rose that truly captures the essence of winter, Snowy Blossoms is your answer. With their pure white blooms and crisp appearance, these roses evoke images of freshly fallen snow—clean, serene, and undeniably elegant. Snowy Blossoms are ideal for creating arrangements that feel modern yet timeless.
Their true white hue makes them a perfect complement to seasonal greenery, such as pine, eucalyptus, and holly. While they’re delicate in appearance, their blooms are sturdy enough to handle the demands of intricate designs like floral crowns, corsages, or even festive wreaths. Pair Snowy Blossoms with larger blooms for contrast, or let them shine on their own in minimalist arrangements.
Wrapping Up the Year and Starting the New With Floral Magic
As this year draws to a close, there’s no better time to celebrate the artistry of floral design.
