Substitute for Sahara Roses ?

[Tracy D'Amico]

Hi all,
Sooooo, we've heard from a few suppliers that Sahara roses won't be in production for a bit, and we have a wedding coming up next week where we need that deep tannish taupeish cream color. Saharas are a personal fave here for wedding work - love them love them love them, and we use them frequently. Every other rose I've seen tends to go peachy - any suggestions for that light coffee color?

Thanks for your help,
tracy

Peppermint is very similar- but not very many people grow it.

I have seen some fennece/finesse come in weird that look a little like them also but not consistent enough.

I have been told the same thing regarding sahara although I was offered some today....

Good luck

We had a wedding and bridal show we wanted them for, oh well..... I guess the growers may have been caught off guard, sometimes it's hard to predict where the trend is going to go and get stock growing for it in time.

Eufloria grows a rose called Emanuelle, it is absolutely beautiful. Just a tad lighter than Sahara, truly magnificent.

if anyone will have them... it will be Virgin Farms... they are very good at pulling rabbits out of hats

Marrakesh by Eufloria, or the smaller/delicate, yet beautiful california Champagne rose -opens wide but has small head- or porcelana roses
