Roses in winter – colour, warmth & care

Brrr... winter is in full swing again! It's bleak outside, the days are short and sometimes everything seems a bit grey. But do you know what brightens up those dark months? That's right: roses! Whether they're fresh roses, long life roses or beautiful wax roses, they instantly bring atmosphere, colour and a touch of warmth to your home.

In this blog, I'll tell you all about the most beautiful rose colours for winter, how to care for them and why long-life and wax roses are so ideal at this time of year.

The perfect rose colours for winter

Winter is all about cosiness and warmth. Think deep, rich colours that suit the season. Red roses remain the classic choice, of course – they bring romance and elegance, especially around the festive season. But dark pink, burgundy and even white roses also look fantastic in winter. White roses give a chic, wintery look – as if you're bringing a touch of snow into your home. For example, combine red and white roses in one bouquet for a festive contrast.

Want something different? Go for champagne-coloured or gold tones – perfect for a Christmas table or winter wedding. These colours exude luxury and complement the glitter and warm candlelight that make winter so special.

How to care for roses in winter

Roses don't like the cold – and that goes for indoors too!

Don't place your fresh roses too close to the heating, as dry air will cause them to wilt more quickly.
Use a clean vase, cut the stems at an angle and change the water every few days. A little rose food works wonders to keep them looking beautiful for longer.
Does your home get little daylight in winter? No problem! Place your bouquet in a spot where it catches a little natural light, but not in a draught or next to the heater. This will keep your roses fresh and radiant – even when it's freezing outside.

Long life roses: perfect for the cold season

Let's be honest: in winter, it can be difficult to keep fresh flowers looking beautiful. That's why long life roses are a fantastic alternative. These real roses are preserved, allowing them to retain their natural beauty for months – sometimes even years – without water or care. Ideal if you like convenience but still want that warm, luxurious look of fresh flowers.

What's more, long life roses make a wonderful gift in winter. They symbolise love that lasts, just like their beauty. Whether you choose a box of red long life roses for Valentine's Day or soft pastel colours for a winter birthday, they always create a “wow” moment.

Wax roses: winterproof and atmospheric

Want something truly special? Then wax roses are an absolute must. These roses are covered with a layer of coloured wax, which not only looks beautiful but also makes them extra sturdy and durable. They are perfect for winter because they don't need water and are not sensitive to temperature changes.

At Surprose, you will find wax roses in all kinds of shades – from classic red to sparkling silver and gold. Combine them with some evergreens or a few pine cones, and you will have a stylish winter bouquet that will stay beautiful for weeks.

Warm rose love in winter

Whether you choose fresh roses, long life roses or wax roses, they all bring warmth, atmosphere and love into your home in winter. So beat that grey winter feeling and treat yourself (or someone else) to a beautiful bouquet from Surprose. Because let's face it: a house with roses always feels a bit like spring – even in the snow!
