Cut Chrysanthemum ‘PIP’
Deliflor Americas Palenzuela and Kennicott loved the presentation of the intricate coloring. “It gives dimension and is very striking,” Kennicott said. Palenzuela found the mauve and raspberry combination to be very versatile. “Florists could do so much with it, and it could work for practically every season,” he said. Bilke spied an aff ordable alternative for dahlias. She pictured using it in one of Madeline’s Flowers signature pumpkin arrangements.
Cut Dianthus ‘WIEN’
Geoflora Cherry and white are traditional colors for carnations, “but combined, they take the fl ower to the next level,” Kennicott said. Palenzuela likened the aesthetic to a peppermint. “It’s simple, but vibrant and cheerful,” he said. He also scored it highly for having eight to nine fl owers per stem, with new buds opening each day. “This is a very useful variety, and it continues to perform,” he said.
Cut Garden Rose ‘COUNTRY BERRY’
Flower Village “It’s something to behold when every bloom opens exactly the same,” said Staton. Naranjo, too, admired this variety’s consistency, as well as its thick, strong stems and clean foliage. With its hot pink petals with a subtle wash of coral, ‘Country Berry’ would be a scintillating choice for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day arrangements, he said. Judge Lorraine Cooper, AAF, AIFD, PFCI, of Brady’s Floral, would love to pair these garden roses with peach ranunculus, and pincushion proteas for a nontraditional fall design.
Cut Rose ‘YOGA’
Flower Village “This looks just like cotton candy — I just want to sink my teeth into it!” said Ekberg. The delicate color immediately made her think of baby showers and nosegays for father-daughter dances. “I could also see it in sympathy work for a woman who loved pink,” she said. “In my area, there’s a trend of placing a single rose in the deceased’s hands in the casket. This would be perfect for that.” “Just exquisite,” Alders said of the star-shaped face of ‘Yoga’. “The way it unfurls gives great presentation.” He also applauded how the crisp foliage “popped” next to pale pink petals.

LIMONCELLO’ RANUNCULUS
Rosaprima “This is a very three-dimensional variety,” said Staton. “I like how prominent the eye is. It adds distinction and interest.” Kennicott appreciated how fully the fl owers open, as well as their translucent yellow coloring. “It’s soft, yet it radiates,” he said. Naranjo counted seven to eight blooms per stem. “This variety is a good value for fl orists,” he said.
