All prospective brides are given a two hour appointment to discuss bridal bouquet designs, a tour of the rose garden and tea. Jan has a fully appointed floral design studio on the premises including a walk in cooler kept at 38 so that all bridal work does not age.
Roses are fresh cut for their lasting qualities and aroma.
Companion plants from the garden such as Blue Salvia,Feverfew, Snapdragons, Scabiosa plus Ivy and Fern can be used in the bridalpieces as well as the table arrangements. Jan creates original, charming nosegay-type corsages and handheld Victorian Tussie Mussies using herbs, minature roses and various small garden flowers reminiscent of another era when we took time for tea. She has 700 rose bushes including antique as well as modern hybird teas and David Austins. All her roses are in pastel colors appropriate of Victorian times. Her French Lace roses are the most popular with the brides since the petals are creamy white with an ever so pink center that looks as though it is back-lit.
