Spray Rose

“gentleness and gratitude”

Spray roses carry several small blooms on each stem, and they inherit the rose's ancient association with love in a quieter, more informal register. In floriography they speak of gentleness and gratitude: affection offered without grand declaration. Their branching habit is useful too, giving a bouquet movement and fullness while every little bud earns its place.

In season, and in the studio

Spray Rose is in season all year round, so it is in the studio this month. In the studio's bunches it is a focal flower: the one a bunch is built around, with the others chosen to frame it. The studio buys it in blush, white and apricot, and at the bench each colour is read for its own meaning.
