XP - Finding a particular silk rose

indigopsyche

So I'm doing silk flowers and I really want to use a silk rose that looks like this


But I can't seem to find it anywhere in a silk form. I've looked at efavormart, afloral, Hobby Lobby, and local craft stores and no luck.
I'm in the Triad area so any suggestions on where to find it?

I just googled it and came up with a few possibles... it may not be exactly what you are looking for but you might try and just do a search to see what you come up with.

Jennie - what terms did you use to google? I've been trying to find them by googling stuff like "sunset silk rose"

Finally!! Apparently I have to google using "orange silk roses" and I find them. Found several links to them.

One of my local friends also mentioned that our local florist will sell stuff in bulk and they might have that rose too.

Yep you got it, I just typed in different things like Orange silk rose stems, or orange and yellow silk rose stems. Play around with the wording and you might find more. Also, not sure where you live but you might try to find a silk flower store (used to work in one). They aren't all that common now but you might give it a shot.

I've looked around for a silk flower store and haven't found any. I'm pretty much stuck with Hobby Lobby, ACMoore, Michael's, and local florists. I wish there were some around here though, I'd love to poke around through one.

Are you stuck on using silk flowers?
This flower is more common and easy to find as a real flower. Also, many times, real flowers turn out to be cheaper than silk ones (assuming your florist doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for arrangements / or you're a DIY bride and you're doing your own flowers).

I really like the idea of doing silk so I can do the bouquets and such a couple months ahead of time. I have managed to find some links to them online though, thanks to Jennie.
