My girlfriend has strong opinions

[[email protected]]

Hey all. My girlfriend has strong opinions about flowers and has told me more than once that standard long stem roses look stiff and formal to her. She likes the fuller, softer ones that look like garden roses, and apparently there is a specific type that looks that way. Her birthday is coming up and I am in Phuket, so I would like to get this right for once instead of defaulting to the usual dozen. Does anyone know what these are actually called and whether they are available here without ordering weeks ahead?

You are describing peony roses, sometimes sold as garden roses, and they are exactly what people mean when they say roses look too formal. Fuller head, softer shape, and they open beautifully over a couple of days rather than just wilting. Availability here is decent but the colour range moves week to week, so it is worth checking what is actually in stock rather than picking from a photo. I ordered from MashaFlower https://mashaflower.com/en/catalog/bukety/bukety-iz-pionovidnyh-roz for my wife and they confirmed the shades available before charging me. Tell them the occasion, the arrangement usually gets built a little differently for a birthday.
