Spray Rose Orange

Orange, scattered. Each stem branches into three to five saturated orange blooms — the warm punch of High Orange broken into accent-sized pieces. Orange spray roses carry sunset and harvest palettes into the fine detail of a design: the boutonniere, the bud vase, the space between focal heads where a recipe either knits together or falls apart.

The grow story

Grown at 3,200 meters in our own production in Cayambe, Ecuador, in the high Andes. Carotenoid oranges fade fast in heat, and a spray's smaller blooms have less tissue to buffer the loss. The cold Andean nights slow that breakdown while the strong equatorial sun keeps loading pigment across every bud on the branch — so the spray arrives saturated and stays that way through the event week. Cut, hydrated, graded, and cold-packed within 48 hours of harvest.

At a glance

Best for

Fall weddings and Thanksgiving table programs, Halloween retail work, citrus-summer palettes, and Dia de los Muertos designs alongside marigold tones. Orange spray is also the personals answer for autumn weddings — lapel-scale blooms in the season's lead color. Anchor the large forms from our wholesale rose range.

Pairs beautifully with

• High Orange (mandarin orange) as the focal it echoes
• Mandarin Xpression (orange garden rosette) for texture in the same hue
• Momentum (golden yellow) to warm the gradient downward
• Nina (deep tangerine) for the red-leaning end of orange
• Solidago for golden filler through the recipe

Care notes

Re-cut at 45° under running water; first hydration in 95–100°F water with preservative, then hold at 34–38°F. Strip foliage below the water line — spray stems are leaf-heavy and foul solution quickly. Buds open in sequence; two days of conditioning evens the spray out. Moderately ethylene-sensitive.

What working pros say

"October through November, orange spray never leaves my standing order. Harvest tables, bouts, bar pieces — it's the season's connective tissue."

"Fall boutonnieres used to mean mums or nothing. Orange spray gives me a real rose at lapel scale in exactly the right color."
