Sweet Akito Roses
From: $1.20/stem
Sold by stem.
Color: Pale blush pink
Sweet Akito is the blush version of Akito, the classic white hybrid tea from Rosen Tantau, and it keeps the same clean, high-centred bud. The colour is a pale, cool blush with creamy undertones: closer to white than to pink, which makes it the safe choice when a bride says she wants white “but warmer”. A moderate petal count means it opens quickly into a neat spiral.

Sweet Akito Roses — Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is Sweet Akito? A pale blush pink with cream undertones. In photographs it often reads as an off-white, and it is frequently used where pure white would look stark.
How is it different from Akito? Sweet Akito is a sport of Akito discovered in 2000 and introduced by Rosen Tantau in 2004. Same high-centred hybrid tea form and growth habit, blush colour instead of clear white.
How long does it last? 8 to 10 days in the vase, which is shorter than our heavier-petalled varieties: that is the trade-off for the low petal count and fast, clean opening. Condition it as soon as it arrives, following our rose care guide.
How big is the head? The bud runs from 5cm on 40cm stems to 6cm on 60cm stems, on 17 to 25 petals. It is a classic florist rose shape rather than a full garden bloom.
What is it used for? Bridal bouquets and buttonholes, hotel and restaurant work where a clean spiral bud matters, and mixed blush boxes with Vendela and Sophie.

UPS Shipping:
We don’t care if you live in California or Maine—we deliver from our Ecuadorian farm nationwide. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the size of box your order fills.
Something wrong with your purchase? We will pay for shipping it back. Or we’ll make it right by sending you an immediate replacement. Why do we go this extra mile? We understand your wedding flowers or wholesale flowers you purchase from us are for a critical event. That’s why we stand behind the quality of our flowers 100%. Moreover, we stand firm in our belief that strong customer service trumps all. If we can exceed your expectations, we know you’ll return as a loyal customer and recommend us to others.
Fresher Product:
Buying farm-direct from AsiriBlooms flower farms through our own cut-to-order logistics system, we are able to deliver to your door - directly from our Ecuadorian flower farms - flowers that are on average 7-12 days fresher than any other flowers you can purchase in your local market. It makes sense. We’re eliminating the middlemen with their warehouses and long-distance trucking routes and, of course, all their markups along the way.
On-time Delivery:
Your flowers should arrive on the delivery date you chose. Every order ships via UPS with tracking, and transit runs 3 to 5 business days. We recommend choosing a delivery date 1 to 2 days before you actually need the flowers, so the stems have time to hydrate and open.

We want you to have the freedom to pick whatever fits your needs, so we work
hard to offer you a diverse selection. We are constantly adding new products.
You won’t find the same selection anywhere. Didn’t find something you were looking for? Contact us and we will be happy to find it for you.

competitors. We believe quality comes first.
