Can anyone suggest a dirty pink rose something similar to the colour of the metallica rose (no longer available). Its for an australian bride who I'll not meet till the day of the wedding so desperate to make sure I can get what she is really wanting.

Thanks
 
Hi sublime, I'm an aussie florist,and was so frustrated last week just trying to match up a coral coloured maids gown. Every pink I aksed for had been ploughed in and was not a good producer.....even good ol sonia which had been around since I was a junior......has gone to god. metalina is around, that is sort of antiquey dirty sort of....hmm. try Van wyks website, they have a rose colour chart, although beware some of the roses ( like the delbard roses) were obsolete. I'm sure the web site is just www.vanwyks.com.au anyway if you google it, I'm sure you'll find it.
 
Several weeks ago we ordered a rose called the chocolate rose that had that sort of color to it. We ordered it from Flowerbuyer.
 
Right now I am in love with a rose called faith. It is a bit more pink to lavender than the Metalina rose(this is more butterscoth to pinky lav). It has a huge head size and lots and lots of petals. It looks like frosting rose and opens about 3-4 inches in diameter. Hope this helps....

even good ol sonia which had been around since I was a junior......has gone to god.

My gosh "Sonia" roses what a blast from the past. I can remember as a child in the shop that all the roses you ever had were Kiss, Sonia, Frisco and Eskimo.

I'll have to try again for metallina as it is near perfect in colour.Cheers!
