Poppy-Colored Impulse Roses

I picked up the prettiest color of roses from the grocery store yesterday. The variety is called Impulse and they are a gorgeous, rich red/orange, poppy color. Next time I order flowers for someone, I'm definitely requesting these because they are like a fun, sassy version of a red rose...and with no romantic connotations!

I love how they look in my den. I didn't think about it until placing them in the room, but they really bring out the same shade that's in the Chiang Mai Dragon pillows and in the kantha throw draped over the arm chair. This might be my new favorite color of roses...




Aren't they pretty? I love getting fresh flowers and don't feel so guilty about the indulgence when they only cost $9/dozen. Hopefully my store will keep stocking this type/color. 

Do you have a favorite rose color? Or do you buy a different type of flower altogether? I love hydrangea and I'll also buy peonies when they are season, but unfortunately they are much more expensive and never last quite as long!

  3. Kyle-
    I spy your FLF (fiddle leaf fig) in the background. Have you had any issues keeping yours alive? I'm on my second one, which happens to be ginormous. It's always moulting, shedding its big arse leaves everywhere. I've moved it around, added plant-food sticks to the soil and researched how to care for it, but I feel like I'm failing. Any issues on your end???
