Hooray!!! The fields are in bloom again!!!

Yesterday we received a note from one of our flower farms that produces freeze dried rose petals that their roses which produce the Autumn Harvest rose petals are back in bloom and that production of these beautiful freeze dried rose petals has resumed!

We are anxiously awaiting the announcement that the ‘Sunset’, ‘Ivory’, and ‘White’ varieties are available. According to our farm, they should begin to have availability of these varieties VERY soon!

Remember that freeze dried rose petals have a VERY long shelf life and can last upwards of 2 to 5 years! If you see the color you want on our website, order it early! Some colors sell out quickly, so don’t be stuck without rose petals for your wedding!

As soon as production resumes on the other varieties that our currently unavailable, we will post an entry to let you know that they are available once again!

Over the past few weeks we have received an overwhelming amount of questions about calculating rose petal coverage for weddings and events. To answer these questions, please consider the following guidelines as you plan for your fresh rose petal or freeze dried rose petal needs:

Step 1: Calculating Square Footage

To calculate the square footage, measure the length and width of the area to be covered. Multiply the length by the width and you will have the total square footage of the area you are trying to cover.

For example: If the room you want to cover is 10 feet long by 20 feet wide, you would multiply 10 x 20 = 200 square feet.

Step 2: Calculating Coverage

We offer our fresh rose petals and freeze dried rose petals in 4 different quantities (3,000 petals, 5,000 petals, 10,000 petals, and 20,000 petals). Start with our box of 3,000 petals and divide that quantity by the square footage you calculated in ‘Step 1′.

For example, if your total square footage was 200 feet, you would divide 3,000 petals by 200 square feet = 15 rose petals per square foot.

This number (# of rose petals divided by square footage) will give you the number of rose petals per square foot. If you would like a heavier coverage, re-calculate using the next larger rose petal package.

For example, if your total square footage was 200 feet, you would divide 5,000 petals by 200 square feet = 25 petals per square foot.

Step 3: What Does That Number Mean (Rose Petals Per Square Foot)???

The number of rose petals per square foot means just what it says: the number of rose petals that would be in 1 square foot (a box that is 12 inches long by 12 inches wide).

If visualizing this number is difficult for you, swing by your local florist and pick up a few roses (maybe 4 or 5). Remove the rose petals. Measure a 1 foot x 1 foot square on your floor (as a reference for you, many kitchen tiles are 1 foot x 1 foot). Add rose petals to that area until you find the coverage that you are looking for. Count the petals on the floor and that is the number of rose petals per square foot that you will need to achieve the appearance you desire.

In Conclusion…

We have found that desired rose petal coverage does vary from customer to customer, and for that reason we do not provide guidelines for what constitutes ‘light coverage’, ‘moderate coverage’, and ‘heavy coverage’.

If you have any questions about calculating rose petal coverage, please do not hesitate to contact one of our knowledgeable sales representatives by calling 1-888-297-3000 or emailing us at sales@rosepetalshop.com.

In recent weeks we have had many customers inquire about the White, Ivory, Sunset, and Autumn Harvest freeze dried rose petals. As many of you know, due to high demand, we sold out a few months ago of these particular varieties of freeze dried rose petals.

We are anxiously awaiting the news from our flower farms that their fields are in bloom again and that they will have these colors available. Unfortunately it appears as though the rainy weather and cooler temperatures continue to hinder the progress of their crops. They said that they are looking at probably another 3 or 4 weeks before the White, Ivory, Sunset, and Autumn Harvest freeze dried rose petals will become available once again.

We will keep our website up to date, and as soon as we know that these varieties are available we will post them online.

We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again soon!
