Patience Garden Roses
Patience is an ivory and white David Austin garden rose, grown as a cut flower for weddings and events and sold here by the bunch in 24, 48, or 96 stems. Each 45–50 cm stem carries a single rosette of roughly 165 petals that arrives near 1.5 inches across and opens flat to about 4.6 inches over 3–4 days in water, moving from buttery ivory to clean white, with a strong old-rose-and-lemon fragrance and a vase life of 7 to 8 days. PetalDriven ships Patience farm-direct and overnight anywhere in the US with free shipping, unarranged and ready to process, at wholesale prices with no tax ID required.

Shipping Info
- Free US shipping on every order.
- Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
- Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add Patience to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
- Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since Friday and Saturday arrivals are more likely to hit weekend carrier delays.
- Schedule delivery so the roses arrive 3–4 days before your event. They ship in bud and need that long in water to open.
- Roses arrive boxed and unarranged, with no signature required, so plan to have someone there to unpack and hydrate them right away.
Care and Processing Instructions
- Unbox your roses as soon as they arrive. Leave the protective cardboard or paper sleeve on for the first hydration; it supports the heads while the stems drink.
- Fill a clean bucket or vase with a few inches of water.
- Strip any foliage that would sit below the water line.
- Cut about 1 inch off each stem at an angle with floral shears or a sharp knife.
- Place the stems in water indoors, in a cool spot away from heaters, air conditioning drafts, and direct sunlight.
- Let the roses hydrate for 6–24 hours before removing the sleeve.
- Once unwrapped, gently peel away the outer guard petals. They're thicker than the rest and often show some green near the base.
- Allow 3–4 days for the blooms to open. A warmer room speeds opening; a cooler one slows it down.
