David Austin® Patience™ Bouquet

Beautiful and fragrant!

Patience is one of my all-time favorite bouquets. It pairs beautifully with other bouquets, making it perfect for mixing and matching to create your own unique bouquets. The fragrance is delightful, and the blooms open up impressively large, adding a touch of grandeur to any setting. It's a fabulous choice for any flower lover!

Sent to my white/cream-rose-loving mom; 24 weather/shipping delay might have affected performance/lifespan

After loving my own GRF David Austin roses, I'd asked my mom if she wanted some, and prepped her for care when she said yes. Due to their reputation as extremely fragrant, I sent creamy David Austin Patience. [On left in unwrapping pic.] The White Clouds were a lovely bonus option. She chose to mix the 2 varieties across 3 smaller bouquets, and enjoyed their looks and fragrance during the drab winter days. She didn't seem to feel Patience was extremely fragrant, which surprised me -- but she keeps her house cold and noses vary. ** Due to weather there was a 24 hour carrier (shipper) delay, but she felt the roses looked good enough that I didn't file a claim with Route -- however, I was glad I'd purchased the protection. ** Based on her pics / comments, I feel the White Clouds came through this extra travel day better overall than Patience with its beautiful, heavy heads. I walked her through some extra care tips (immersing roses, 45-degree trims when changing water). I think repeat flower food or sugar would have been wise but she skipped it. She got a solid week out of all, and another few days out of the WCs (house is kept in the 60s). GRF customer service and shipping communication is excellent, and I only knocked off a star because some of her roses looked like underperformers compared to my experience -- but again, how much of that was the weather / shipping delay I don't know.

Beautiful White Christmas Roses

Loved my Patience roses -- they came all packaged in perfect condition. The roses smelled like Lychees, and unfurled beautifully. It made the best white Christmas arrangements together with the White Cloud roses. Thank you!
