There’s something quietly luminous about a golden yellow garden rose — the way the petals seem to hold sunlight even in a shaded reception hall. Antonia Gardens roses from Alexandra Farms arrive in bunches of 12, harvested in a more closed bud stage so they travel safely and open gradually into their full, layered beauty over the days ahead.
When your stems arrive, trim one inch from the base of each, clear any foliage below the waterline, and settle them into a clean vase with cool water and flower food. Leave the cardboard support in place during that first 24–48 hour hydration period in a cool room — you’ll watch them wake up and unfurl on their own timeline.
Natural variation in tone and petal count is part of what makes garden roses feel so alive compared to their hybrid counterparts. Keep them away from heat, direct sun, drafts, and ripening fruit.
