Fit for a Queen

Vendela roses are my favorite of the white roses.  It is actually not a pure white, but rather an ivory.  It is a large rose with a high petal count, that opens as a cup-shaped bloom with slightly curled edges.  It is grown in Ecuador, where roses are world-renowned for their huge bloom size, long vase life, superb quality, and rich color.   Ecuador is ideally suited for rose growing due to its rich volcanic soil and ideal climactic conditions for growing not only the finest roses, but other types of cut flowers as well.  The region's long, sunny days and warm temperatures enable the plants to thrive and produce impressive flowers. 

This table centerpiece consists of 65 Vendela roses, in a compact oval design with variegated pittosporum and ivy--grown locally right at my studio.
