Arranging Your Roses

  • Before arranaging your roses consider the length of the stem in comparison to the vase. Trim where nesscary and cut at an angle while stems are submerged in the water.
  • Remove all leaves that will be under the vase as this will prevent them from rotting.
  • Place your first rose in the vase. Rest the base of the stem to the left of the base of the vase and the flower to the right.
  • Do the same with the next rose but in the opposite direction so that the stems cross over one another. Top Tip: You can also use a rubber band to bundle a few roses together to achive a unified look.
  • To keep your beautiful arrangement fresh for longer you can add a peservative to the water. People have also been known to add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the water in your flower vase.
  • Now find the perfect spot for your arrangement and enjoy!
