“I love designing with Alexandra Farms garden roses; every time they are included in a design, it instantly becomes fluffier and more luxurious. Everyone knows a rose, but when a garden rose is present, people sense that it is special. I myself get lost in the myriad of petals. I think my favorite thing about them, though, is their colors. Truly the best variety of hues that are so unique and always consistent. I know what I am going to get, and I love that!”
Paulina NieliwockiNew Jersey, USA

“Designing with Alexandra Farms garden roses is always a joy. Their incredible range of textures, dramatic ruffled petals, and strength as a floral medium allow me to push roses beyond traditional design and into the world of floral couture. I love layering varieties to capture light, movement, and energy — creating pieces that feel beautifully wild, untamed, and a little rebellious, with every rose bringing its own personality to the story.”
Julia RoseAustralia
“Alexandra Farms garden roses have become an integral part of the Intrigue Teaches experience. Introducing our students to these exceptional luxury varieties gives them the opportunity to design with some of the world’s most coveted roses, helping them develop the confidence, artistry, and appreciation for the level of quality expected in the luxury wedding market.”
Sarah CampbellMaryland, USA
“It’s not the quantity of Alexandra Farms garden roses needed to make an impact; it’s the quality of each that makes the difference. Just adding several Alexandra Farms garden roses instantly elevates the visual value of the design. They add an upscale dimension, and they make ordinary arrangements extraordinary! The range in color and form, indicative of specially grown garden varieties with their heirloom charm, brings a special hand-picked, hand-selected vibe to a design. When the garden roses are fully open, their special characteristics immediately draw your eyes. They are truly the royalty in the rose world.”
