What Flowers Go Well with Roses in a Bouquet?

There’s no doubt that roses are a classic — romantic, elegant, and versatile. But if you’re looking to add depth, texture, or a unique touch to your arrangement, pairing roses with other flowers can elevate the entire look.

At Flowers Valley, our rose bouquets are designed to feel intentional and fresh. Here’s how we take them to the next level.

Why mix roses with other flowers?

1. Add texture and volume

Layering flowers of different shapes and sizes adds dimension.

2. Personalize the vibe

Soft and romantic? Bold and modern? The right pairings help shape the mood.

3. Seasonal style

Including seasonal flowers makes your bouquet feel more current and dynamic.

Our favorite flowers to pair with roses

Peonies

Big, lush, and soft — peonies pair beautifully with roses for romantic, garden-style arrangements.

 

Ranunculus

These ruffled blooms offer a similar elegance in a smaller form, great for spring mixes.

red rose with red tulip

Tulips

Clean and sculptural, tulips add movement and simplicity alongside classic roses.

Roses with Lisianthus

Lisianthus

Delicate and light, they soften the overall design and blend seamlessly with rose petals.

Hydrangeas

A perfect base flower for volume. They make rose bouquets look fuller and richer.

Orchids

For luxury arrangements, we love pairing roses with cymbidium or phalaenopsis orchids.

Stock or snapdragons
These vertical flowers add structure and scent to more traditional designs.

Dusty miller, eucalyptus, or ruscus
Foliage makes all the difference — especially in modern, airy rose arrangements.

When to mix and when to keep it simple

If you’re going for bold romance (like anniversaries or proposals), stick to all roses or roses + peonies.

For birthdays, housewarmings, or just-because, a mixed arrangement feels more playful and versatile.

And if you’re not sure? Choose our Designer’s Choice Rose Mix — we’ll style a bouquet around seasonal availability and your preferences.
