Peony Crush

Description

About this bouquet

Blush peonies with spray roses and garden roses in ivory, pink and coral. Peonies arrive as tight buds and open over two or three days, so this bouquet changes shape more than any other we make — it is smaller on arrival and at its fullest mid-week. If you want it open on the day, tell us and we condition it warmer before it goes.

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.
