About Us
Overview - Rent A Rose is based in Edmonton, Alberta. We offer short-term floral rentals for special events including weddings, mourning & memorials, baptisms, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate events.

Our floral rental service is cost effective and saves time when time may be of the essence. Rely on the Rent A Rose team's ability to make your event as special as it should be.
Business Summary - Rent A Rose is a premium rent and return faux flower business that offers dramatic benefits over fresh cut flowers. First, there are no surprises or substitutions due to weather. What you see and choose on our website is exactly what you will enjoy during your event, without fear of wilting or drooping. They are also environmentally friendly, that is, without the inefficient sourcing issues and appalling waste of one-time use. Faux flowers are also hypoallergenic, removing that fear from the planner’s checklist. Best of all, we are not constrained by seasonal availabilities, so we are able to design our unique, visually stunning creations for half the cost of fresh cut florals. As such, we have created “collections” that provide options to fulfill your vision and build your desired mood, be that elegant, subdued, whimsical, or dramatic.
Our Ethos -We create each arrangement with care, keeping true to our focus on fun, happiness and joy. We pledge also to provide excellence in all that we do. Our florals are meticulously chosen, tested, and sourced for their quality and beauty. Our customer-focused team is committed to making your event successful and stress free. We will help wherever we can so you can focus on other aspects and, hopefully, have a great time in the process. Check out our design and and onsite set up services.
