Roses, Gerberas & Alstroemerias

The bouquet suits a happy occasion, whether as a greeting or as a gift. Red roses can be arranged on their own or combined with white and pink shades; here they are joined by mini gerberas and alstroemerias, which are most often combined with roses.

The mini gerberas and alstroemerias soften the line of the roses, so the arrangement looks full without feeling heavy. Hypericum replaces a flower with shiny berries, which add one more accent to the bouquet.

Greenery holds the arrangement together, but before placing it in a vase, remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline and quickly spoil the water.
