Rose Comparison
Not sure which roses send the right impression? Use this guide to help
you determine which size is just right.
The challenge with presenting pictures of rose arrangements on the web (or
any other flower arrangements for that matter) is that it's difficult to convey
size since each design thumbnail appears nearly the same. This comparison guide
shows relative size and height
difference between Avante Gardens Florist rose arrangement selections so you can
choose the one best suited for your gift.
