Dorchester Roses
Dorchester is a cream and blush hybrid tea rose with soft salmon tones, sold in 40-stem bunches with a choice of 50 or 60 cm stems. Each stem carries a single bloom that arrives in tight bud and opens to roughly 3 to 4 inches over 2 to 3 days, with a vase life of 7 to 10 days. The 60 cm option is the one to take for tall arrangements and elevated centerpieces. PetalDriven ships Dorchester roses farm-direct and overnight anywhere in the US with free shipping, unarranged and ready to process, at wholesale prices with no tax ID required.

Shipping Info
- Free US shipping on every order.
- Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
- Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add Dorchester roses to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
- Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since a Friday arrival leaves no working day to sort out a problem before a weekend event.
- Schedule delivery so the roses arrive 2–3 days before your event. They ship in bud and need that long in water to open.
- Roses arrive boxed and unarranged, with no signature required, so plan to have someone there to unpack and hydrate them right away.
Care and Processing Instructions
- Unbox your roses as soon as they arrive. Leave the protective cardboard or paper sleeve on for the first hydration; it supports the heads while the stems drink.
- Fill a clean bucket or vase with a few inches of water.
- Strip any foliage that would sit below the water line.
- Cut about 1 inch off each stem at an angle with floral shears or a sharp knife.
- Place the stems in water indoors, in a cool spot away from heaters, air conditioning drafts, and direct sunlight.
- Let the roses hydrate for 6–24 hours before removing the sleeve.
- Once unwrapped, gently peel away the outer guard petals. They're thicker than the rest and often show some green or brown near the base. This is normal and protects the bloom in transit.
- Allow 2–3 days for the blooms to open. A warmer room speeds opening; a cooler one slows it down.
