Menta Roses

Sold by stem. Color: Creamy lavender with silvery mocha tones *** Despite the name, Menta is not a green rose. It is one of the muted antique tones: a creamy lavender that shifts toward silvery pink and mocha as it opens, with a vanilla cast in the centre. It is richly filled and opens completely, which is why designers reach for it in the same palettes as Quicksand and Sahara when they want something cooler.

A creamy lavender with silvery, mocha and pale vanilla tones. It is a muted antique shade rather than a clear lilac, and it changes noticeably as the bloom opens, so buy it for the range rather than for one flat colour. Is Menta green? No. The name is Spanish for mint, but the variety is a cream lavender. If you need a true green, look at Jade or our green tinted roses. How long do Menta roses last? 14 to 16 days in the vase, which is long for a muted variety. Use flower food: growers note that Menta benefits from it and it helps guard against stem bending. See our rose care guide. How big is the head? 5 to 6cm across the bud with 38 to 47 petals. It is richly filled and opens fully, so give it two to three days before the event. What is it used for? Muted, antique and dusty wedding palettes, styled shoots, and mixed boxes with Quicksand, Sahara and blush varieties. How do I order Menta roses wholesale?
