Spray rose
A single stem carries 3–7 rose heads at different opening stages. Loved by wedding florists for its versatility — split into individual heads for boutonnieres, or keep whole for airy filler. Common cultivars: Majolica (cream), Yana (pink), Baby Romantica (peach). Costs 25–40% more per stem than standard roses, but delivers 3–5× the coverage.
