Cream roses have been around since at least 1670. While they are predominantly a summer flower, they do occur in the fall and can be used for all seasons. The name cream rose comes from the white underside of the flower itself, which is why the flower is often used as an accent on flower bouquets. The most popular flower garden arrangements with cream roses include placing them around a large fireplace or fire pit. They make an interesting contrast to other flowers such as orchids or lilies and look best alone or mixed with white or blue pansies.
Landscaping with flowers of the cream rose is simple to do and can create a very eye-catching outdoor living space or a romantic patio setting. These blooms are a great alternative to roses as they don’t have to be replanted every year. They are self-sowing and survive for years without much maintenance. Landscaping with flowers of the cream rose is versatile because you can place them in almost any location. If you like your flower garden to flow and have taller plants on the outer edges, you can anchor these blooms with several dozen of the compact blooms.

If you love the feel of an ice cream parlor at the end of a hard day’s work, plant a few cream or blue-blue roses around your ice cream shop. They will add a delightful touch of color to the ice cream shop and make it more inviting for customers to sit and enjoy their cold treats. If you are a creative person, you may want to put a few of your roses in a basket along with some sundae cream or orange sherbet. Place your order for cones and sherbet in a bowl in the middle of your sidewalk stand. Every time an ice cream cone is refreshed by a scoop of ice cream or sherbet, it will be right back in your basket.
Cream rose can be a great addition to any flower bed. You can add them to an existing flower bed by digging out a few to place them in the flower bed. Place them in the center of your garden and water them every few days until they begin to bloom. When it comes time to remove them from your garden, simply take them off the plants and give them a quick once over with a garden tool before dropping them in a large trash receptacle.
To maintain your roses, you should water them once a week. If you do not have a flower garden, you can water them on their own. Take the flower heads that you removed from the plants and place them carefully into a spray bottle filled with water. Add some floral fertilizer to help the grass and soil develop properly around the flower heads.
When the cream rose grows to be too large for your garden, you may decide that you would like to try growing a taller version of it. This can be accomplished by pruning the flower. If you plan to grow a cream rose that is taller than seven feet, you may want to consult a landscape designer to find out what options are available to you.
