Rose Comparisons

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.
