We were impressed by Moab’s head size and flawless earth toned petals. Moab has barely any thorns and is easy to handle. Her bloom form reminds us of the Cafe Latte rose but her colour makes her seem more elegant and refined in comparison. This particular stem turned a caramel colour than the usual soft brown.

Brown roses were quite an unusual choice for floral arrangements and used to be a no-go. But ever since the Toffee rose was introduced in 2018, the interest for Brown roses quickly increased and many were choosing to use them in their floral arrangements. Brown roses gives most arrangements a neutral base that allows them to pair well with many other colors, from cream and ivory to soft pink and buttery yellow.
The newest brown variety introduced to the market is Moab!
