White O'Hara Rose

• Role: Focal flower
• Color: White with a light pink center

What makes White O'Hara Rose worth the extra care it needs?

White O'Hara is bred specifically for fragrance and fullness, carrying a soft light pink center beneath its white outer petals along with a real, noticeable scent. That combination makes it more delicate than a standard white rose, so it typically holds for 10 to 14 days rather than the 14 to 21 days common elsewhere in our catalog. For clients who want both fragrance and a romantic, layered white, it's usually the strongest option we carry.

How long does White O'Hara Rose last?

Because of its delicate, densely petaled structure, White O'Hara Rose typically holds for 10 to 14 days in the vase, shorter than most other roses in our catalog. Fresh water, a regular recut, and good airflow around the bloom all help it reach the longer end of that window. Recutting the stem at an angle every time also helps keep water uptake steady across the full window.

Who is White O'Hara Rose best suited for?

Florists and event planners both reach for it specifically when fragrance and a soft, layered white are both part of the brief. It's a favorite for bridal bouquets where the bride will be holding the flowers close enough to notice the scent. Either way, its dependable performance makes it easy to plan into an arrangement built a few days ahead of the event itself.
