Rosy Charm

Description

About this bouquet

Eight pink garden roses and ten spray roses with ten green button chrysanthemums. The green buttons are what make this one — they break up the pink and give it energy rather than sweetness, which is why it works for a birthday or a celebration better than for romance. Chrysanthemums also last two weeks, so the shape holds long after.

Who this one suits

For a birthday it reads as celebratory rather than romantic, which makes it safe for a friend, a parent or a colleague as much as a partner.

For a promotion, a new home or a graduation it is upright and cheerful, and it survives being carried across an office or handed over at a ceremony.

10 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.
