Sweet Akito Roses

Sold by stem. Color: Pale blush pink *** Sweet Akito is the blush version of Akito, the classic white hybrid tea from Rosen Tantau, and it keeps the same clean, high-centred bud. The colour is a pale, cool blush with creamy undertones: closer to white than to pink, which makes it the safe choice when a bride says she wants white “but warmer”. A moderate petal count means it opens quickly into a neat spiral.

A pale blush pink with cream undertones. In photographs it often reads as an off-white, and it is frequently used where pure white would look stark. How is it different from Akito? Sweet Akito is a sport of Akito discovered in 2000 and introduced by Rosen Tantau in 2004. Same high-centred hybrid tea form and growth habit, blush colour instead of clear white. How long does it last? 8 to 10 days in the vase, which is shorter than our heavier-petalled varieties: that is the trade-off for the low petal count and fast, clean opening. Condition it as soon as it arrives, following our rose care guide. How big is the head? The bud runs from 5cm on 40cm stems to 6cm on 60cm stems, on 17 to 25 petals. It is a classic florist rose shape rather than a full garden bloom. What is it used for? Bridal bouquets and buttonholes, hotel and restaurant work where a clean spiral bud matters, and mixed blush boxes with Vendela and Sophie. How do I order Sweet Akito roses wholesale?
