Roses: Style & Care Advise

Roses are beautiful flowers used to create stunning wedding and event arrangements as well as everyday bouquets. Roses can be found in a large array of colors to compliment any decor, event color palette, or mood.

For a creative presentation try placing roses individually in a variety of stemmed glasses, then group the containers together. Or, create a larger, more dramatic arrangement, by using several dozen roses of the same color in one container. Don't be afraid to cut your rose stems short. This will allow the blooms to be the focus of the arrangement.

To best care for your rose displays try these tips:

• fill your vase with room temperature water and flower food
• remove all rose leaves that will fall below the waterline
• cut all stems at an angle with a sharp knife or scissors
• place the blooms in water immediately after cutting the stems
• repeat this process every two to three days to prolong the life of your arrangement

Sit back and smell the roses!
