Bombastic Rose Duo

Description

About this bouquet

Two varieties of spray garden rose in one armful, cream against a deeper tone. Each stem carries several heads that open in sequence rather than all at once, so this one keeps changing for a good week. It photographs well because of the texture — many small heads at slightly different stages rather than a flat wall of one colour.

Who this one suits

An anniversary is the one occasion where size is read as intent, so this sits in the range that lands as considered rather than casual.

As a romantic gift it says what it needs to without a card having to explain it.

20 stems suits a standard cylinder vase. Trim a little off the stems every couple of days as you change the water and it will hold its shape longer.

Caring for garden roses

Garden roses carry many more petals than a standard rose and open into a full cup over two to three days. That is when they look their best. Re-cut the stems at an angle before they go in water, strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline, and change the water every other day. Expect five to seven good days — a little shorter than standard roses, in exchange for a fuller flower.

Caring for spray roses

Each spray rose stem carries several small heads that open in sequence, so the bouquet keeps changing for a week or more. Pinch off any bloom that finishes before the others — it keeps the rest looking fresh and stops the water clouding. Re-cut the stems on arrival and change the water every other day.
