Roses Squared

“It’s hip to be square.”   A contemporary and stylish rose arrangement can be easily created with a short square container.  All that’s required of the ‘designer’ is to cut all the stems short and at the same length.

 

This so simple rose recipe also increases the enjoyment period, (the life of the flower) as short stemmed flowers drink water easily.

 

Materials

 

• Square and squat straight-sided container, approximately 7-x7-inches square.

• Floral preservative

• Floral clippers

 

 

Directions: 2 Simple Steps

2. Cut all the rose stems so that the head of flower peers out above the rim of the container half way.
