Rose Wednesday is hosted by Jan & Tom's Rose Haven it is a day set aside for all things rosey! Their blog has the full list of those who have stopped to smell the roses! Give them all a visit & leave a comment.
My rose offering for today is the Sahara Blush rose. It is by far my favorite of the blush colored roses. I love the fact that no two are the same shade. They come in packages of 25 & can range from a cream, to champagne, to peachy blush to a pale pink blush. They are so versatile to use, especially in wedding work. You must beware of the stems which are some of the thorniest I have ever encountered. To use in Bridal bouquets, they must be completely stripped of their thorns.
Shown above in a massed arrangement of all Sahara Blush roses in a sage green vase.
This rose has a fairly high petal count with all blooms opening fully just as an old fashioned garden rose. They remind me of an antique Victorian Rose in that it has that velvety look to the petals & the coloring of vintage lace. They also have a lovely fragrance, which is a nice surprise. Since most roses do not have any fragrance at all anymore.
Below are some examples of the Sahara Blush rose used with different color palettes. Notice how well it blends with each color palette, almost taking on the hue of the complimentary color.
Shown here in a Bridal bouquet with red & sage green for a very romantic look.
Here it is in another Bridal bouquet with dusty lavender & shades of green.
It looks great with the shades of pale buttercream yellow, peach, & pale pink.
It looks great with the deep coral of this Amsterdand rose. Another of my favorites, which I will post on it's own another Wednesday.

What a lovely Rose, Tammy! I really like the Sahara Blush Rose and I do see how they work with all the color palettes. What a delightful color.
Thanks for linking up for ROSE Wednesday. I sure am glad Mr. Linky is working!

The sahara blush rose is beautiful Tammy! I love that it has a fragrance. I think my favorite is the sterling rose...just because of it's intense fragrance.
These are so beautiful!
I can honestly say I saw them for the first time on your blog. :)
ok! you know what these are not an in your face (pardon to all the pinkies out here) pink...
i'm weakening Tam...LOL
pretty little things they are indeed!
thanks for all your love and support sis :) xo
I love it. I like that it's so subtle in it's color and blends so well.
I am a pink kinda gal but when it comes to roses, I lean toward the more subtle tones of pink. My favorite arrangement of these is the 3rd one with the buttercream.
I do love coral or sonya color roses but yellow is my favorite.
LOVELY bouquets!
Beautiful! I love the pale pink of your faves!
