Due to the popularity of brown color schemes in weddings, French rose breeder NIRP International has created a chocolate rose called the Terra Nostra.
They may still be hard to find, but for those of you using brown in your color schemes, would you want to use chocolate roses?
(via Modern Bride & flower expert Amy Stewart)
I like these. Maybe not as an all brown bouquet or centerpiece, but definitley as an accent, or mixed with pink roses or green hydrangeas.
i don’t care much for the brown, but these could look really pretty with a monochromatic creme/white/ivory/beige scheme… or a baby blue and cream?
eh, they look like freeze dried dead roses. i would totally pass.
florists will use dark (red?) flowers that photograph dark brown. i forget what they’re called but there are options to get dark flowers into your bouquets/centerpieces.
umm..I’m not a huge fan either, and I LOVE brown. I think maybe they’re not a rich enough hue? A step lighter and they would look almost exaclty like terra cotta roses. I do see how they would look nice as an accent, though.
mmm nooooo my colors are chocolate brown and pink but i would never use brown roses. brown flowers = dead flowers!! i am using brown as accents and to give more warmth!
i like them.
maybe i’ll use ‘em in my wedding and show y’all how it’s done. 
but my wedding’s still 18 months away.
i like the brown. it reminds me of milk tea. i think it would look nice w/ the fauchon light pink.

they look like they’re freeze-dried..very interesting~ i’m sure there will be brides that will be ecstatic to use them in their wedding
that’s actually a very pretty muted brown. i can see it going well with other light colors; the pink and peach.. maybe some hydrangeas. gotta pair it up with something, cause by itself i think it looks dead.
i’m toying with idea of using brown as a wedding color. but no to those roses
=D They look yummy!
mrs.bee why you decided to change your icon? I actually like the flying bee with hearts aroound it.
I think they would be good sparsley dispersed in a bouquet or something, but I am not a fan in seeing them in this picture–it looks dead? 
I bought those beautiful brown roses from Costco few months ago, and the price tag was the same as other color roses!!
I love these! They do look like chocolate in the pic, though (Must remember not to eat the floral arrangements)….
I saw this picture in Modern Bride, and I think the color was a lot richer there. I wonder what the actual color is? Maybe it’s just my work monitor!
