Roses and Gerberas

The bouquet suits a gift for someone close. Red roses are among the most classic choices when you want to declare your love. The red and yellow tones of the roses are complemented by orange gerberas. Alstroemerias and greenery fill the space between the larger blooms and give the bouquet a looser, airier look.

Mini gerbera is a smaller version of the gerbera, and each stem carries one bright bloom with a distinctive centre. Goldenrod (solidago) forms tiny yellow flowers in dense clusters on branched stems. Cut the rose stems at a 45° angle with a sharp knife and renew the cut every 2–3 days. Remove any leaves that would end up below the waterline, as they would spoil the water quickly.
