How to Distinguish Spray Roses from Traditional?

Spray roses are just about the sweetest tiny flowers. While they have the natural beauty of a rose, the overall feel of the spray rose is softened by its delicate and intricate features.

Let’s talk about typical spray roses, which generally have the same features as traditional roses, but they are tiny and have multiple blooms in the stem. These miniature blooms are usually less about two inches wide and grow in clusters near 5-7 flowers every stem. The length of the stem varies when the usual size is 40-50 cm long. A spray rose is a smaller and miniature version of the typical rose. 

Just like traditional roses, miniature ones are available in a broad spectrum of colors and can be single, double, or semi-double blooms.
