As the leaves continue to change and the crisp autumn breeze sweeps through the air, we find ourselves in a new season – fall. Fall brings with it a unique color palette, filled with warm and earthy tones that inspire creativity in every aspect of life, including floral arrangements. Brown roses, with their rich and rustic hues, have become increasingly popular as a symbol of autumn's beauty. However, like any unique and seasonal choice, brown roses can present supply challenges.
During this season, warm hues of coffee, caramel, and toffee-colored roses are highly sought after, yet their availability remains notably scarce. The root of this supply challenge originates from rose growers. Brown roses, being predominantly favored during the autumn months and experiencing comparatively little demand during other seasons, are not cultivated on a consistent basis by growers. The limited profitability associated with this single color during a brief seasonal window does not justify dedicating precious space on their farms for its cultivation.
If brown roses are unavailable for your designs, but you still desire their warm and inviting aesthetic, we suggest considering some recommended substitutes that are more readily available.
