Iconic English Garden Roses
Darcey – David Austin Wedding and Event Roses
Darcey (Auschariot) is a raspberry red rose in the David Austin Wedding Rose Collection. This variety is quite intriguing, as the petals unfurl the bright magenta shimmers and as the bloom ages the petals evolve to show deep velvety undertones. When Darcey is in full bloom, a cluster of golden stamens can be seen in the heart of this rose. The long vase life of Darcey makes it a great flower for everyday floral design, as well as an extraordinary focal point in centerpieces for special events and weddings. Darcey’s fragrance is of light, fruity tea perfume.

Rehydration
- Unpack your roses as soon as possible.
- Keep the packaging in place, to support the stems during hydration.
- Cut about 1" or 3cm from the base of each stem.
- Place the stems in water with flower food to aid hydration, improve opening and increase vase life.
- Rehydrate stems for 4-6 hours in the coolest place possible, ideally between 4° to 6°C / 39° to 43°F. If your roses arrive late in the day, leave in water overnight to give them the hydration period.
Opening
- After hydration, remove all packaging. Space the stems in the buckets of water to make room for the blooms to open. Retain guard petals as they will disappear as the bloom opens.
- Place the stems in ambient room temperature to
encourage opening. - Opening will take between 2 and 4 days. Once opened, place back in your cool area until you are ready to work with them.
