Pretty Pink Roses :: The Bouqs Company

Flowers bring a fresh, natural beauty to any space. Through color, size and texture floral arrangements are a terrific decor accessory to help set a room’s mood. So when Bouqs, the premium online floral delivery service asked if I’d like to review a bouquet for myself, it was a no-brainer. I selected a dozen long stem pink roses called Sweetness. Sweet indeed! Like most of Bouqs flowers, they were grown at the foot of a mineral rich volcano in South America and arrive a few days later at my front door.

Here are the pretty pink roses in my daughter’s new flamingo room. So simple, elegant and sweet. And boy are these roses huge and long-lasting. Here’s an instagram of them a few days later. Amazing.

Christmas Rose Floral Arrangement How To

Decorating with fresh flowers is always a nice touch, but professional floral arrangements can be expensive. If your wallet is being squeezed this holiday season, here’s a simple and elegant floral arrangement you can do yourself.

What you’ll need:

  • Round decorative bowl or vase
  • Oasis / Foam Brick {floral supply}
  • 2 dozen large roses {amount may vary depending of the size bowl used and rose heads – I picked mine up inexpensively at Trader Joes}
  • Pair of Pruners or Snips
  • One bunch greenery {leaves, lacey fern, or decorative grasses}
  • Large mixing or sink

1. Cut a piece of foam to so that if fits in your decorative bowl or vase.
2. Fill mixing bowl or sink with cold water. Then drop the foam brink into the water, but do not push it down. Let is soak up the water and sink to the bottom on its own. This will ensure that it is saturated. Let the foam soak for 15 minutes.
3. Place the saturated foam brick into the decorative bowl or vase.
4. Using a pruner or snips, cut one rose so that it’s stem is approximately 3” {this also may depend on the contain your select}.

5. Push cut flowers one by one into the oasis starting in the center and then four corners.

6. Fill in the empty spaces with more roses while trying to keep a rounded look {you may need to shorten some of the stems to make it curve}.

7. At the base between the roses and the bowl or vase, place sprigs of greenery. Cascading Heather, grasses, lacey fern, or tree leaves {pine, lemon, etc.} would work. The greenery will go all the way around.
