Its crisp, clean petals and delicate fragrance evoke a sense of calm and understated sophistication. From the cloud-like fullness of an ‘Avalanche’ rose to the elegant simplicity of a spray white rose, these blooms are perfect for conveying heartfelt sympathy, celebrating a pristine new chapter, or adorning an immaculate wedding day.
A gift of white roses from Velvet Rose speaks volumes without uttering a single word. It is a gesture of profound respect, of sincere congratulations, or of comforting solace.

They are a favourite for formal occasions, corporate gifts that require a touch of class, or as a thoughtful expression of a pure and unconditional regard.
Just as a new beginning deserves to be marked with a timeless bloom, it also warrants a personal touch that commemorates the moment. For baptisms, christenings, weddings, or any occasion celebrating a fresh start or a revered memory, a bespoke item can serve as a lasting memento.
