Peonies out of season
Surprose has two different peonies that are available all year round. These are the soft pink Sarah Bernhardt and the white Duchesse de Nemours. The Sarah Bernhardt is one of the most famous peony varieties worldwide. This is because of its beautiful colour and the way this double-flowered peony emerges. Because there are several layers of petals in the flower bud, the peony is very nicely full and looks beautiful in the vase.
The other year-round peony variety available from Surprose is the Duchesse de Nemours. This white peony is very old and has gained a lot of fame in that time. The quality of this rose is very high and that is also why this variety has been very popular for more than a century. The colour of this peony is special, as no white peony is as white as the Duchesse de Nemours.
The head of this peony is very large and can grow up to about 15 cm wide! Many normal roses do not smell or have only a slight rose scent. This white peony, however, has a lovely lemon scent that spreads through the room. So you can have this lovely scent in your home all year round.
Peonies for Mother's Day
Peonies are very popular on special days like Mother's Day. As Mother's Day always falls in May, this is exactly in the season of peonies. As a result, a bouquet of peonies is often given for this day. When the peonies open in the vase, you have a beautifully full bouquet that your mother can enjoy for a long time to come. The colours in which peonies are available are also perfect colours for Mother's Day.
The different peony varieties at Surprose
The peony is naturally available only between the months of May and June. This depends every year on how strong the roses are and until when they can still be beautifully delivered. Surprose therefore has several varieties of peonies in its spring range.
- Coral Charm: A very special peony is the Coral Charm. What makes this peony so special is the difference in colour from bud to full bloom. In fact, when the Coral Charm is still closed, the flower bud has a bright pink colour. As the peony matures, this colour also goes more towards a beautiful salmon hue. This rose is often used in bridal bouquets, given the peony's unique nature.
- Red Charm: Prefer a beautiful red peony? Then the Red Charm is perfect for you! Indeed, this strong peony has a special deep red colour that looks beautiful in a bouquet. The Red Charm has a huge flower bud that can reach a size of about 22 cm when fully flowering.
- Dr Fleming: Surprose also has the pink Dr Fleming in its range. This peony is somewhat similar to the popular Sarah Bernhardt peony, which is why the Dr Fleming is also very popular. The Dr Fleming is a slightly darker pink than the Sarah Bernhardt and that distinguishes this peony.
Peony care tips
Peonies are beautiful flowers that, with the right care, stay beautiful in the vase for a long time. To fully enjoy their full bloom and vibrant colours, it is important to follow a few simple care tips. Taking good care of your peonies will keep them fresh and fragrant for longer. For more care information, visit our rose blog. Here are some handy care tips to make sure your peonies shine for as long as possible:
- Cut the stems at an angle: Cut the stems of peonies at an angle before putting them in the vase. This helps the flowers absorb water better.
- Use a clean vase of the right size: Make sure the vase the peonies are in is clean and large enough to give the flowers space.
- Change the water regularly: Change the water every three days to prevent bacteria from shortening the life of the flowers.
- Remove the sugar coating: If the flowers do not emerge properly, there may be a thin sugar coating around the bud. You can easily remove this by holding the peony upside down under a gentle stream of water.
