HOW TO MAKE BOUQUETS FOR ROSES
To make a bouquet of roses, you will need the following supplies:
- A bunch of fresh roses with long stems
- A sharp pair of scissors or floral shears
- A piece of floral tape
- Ribbon or twine
- A vase or jar to hold the bouquet
Here’s how to make the bouquet:
- Start by cutting the stems of the roses to the desired length. You want the stems to be long enough to reach the bottom of your vase or jar, but not so long that they will be difficult to work with.
- Begin arranging the roses in your hand, starting with the largest and fullest rose in the center. Add the remaining roses around it, gradually filling in the gaps and creating a round shape.
- Once you are happy with the arrangement of the roses, use the floral tape to secure the stems together. Start at the base of the stems and wrap the tape tightly around the stems, working your way up to the top of the bouquet.
- To finish the bouquet, tie a piece of ribbon or twine around the stems, just below the blooms. You can also add a bow or other decorative touches if desired.
- Finally, place the bouquet in a vase or jar filled with fresh water. Be sure to change the water every few days to keep the roses looking fresh.
