Creating a beautiful rose bouquet can be a delightful experience. Follow these Hong Kong Florist steps to tie your own stunning arrangement.

Materials Needed

• Fresh roses (an assortment of colours if desired)

• Greenery (such as eucalyptus or fern)

• Floral tape or twine

• Scissors

• A vase or water source

Step 1: Prepare the Roses

1. Select Your Roses: Choose roses of varying heights and colours to add depth to your bouquet. Aim for an odd number for aesthetic balance.

2. Trim the Stems: Cut the stems at a diagonal angle, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom, using sharp scissors or secateurs. This allows for better water absorption.

Step 2: Prepare the Greenery

1. Select Greenery: Choose a few sprigs of greenery to complement your roses.

2. Trim the Greenery: Cut the greenery to a similar height as your roses, ensuring they won’t overshadow the flowers.

Step 3: Arranging the Bouquet

1. Create a Base: Begin with your greenery, forming a base for your roses. Arrange the greenery in a circular shape.

2. Add the Roses: Gradually add the roses, placing them evenly around the greenery. Allow some roses to stand taller and some to sit lower for a natural look.

3. Layer the Flowers: Continue to add roses, turning the bouquet as you go to ensure an even distribution of colour and shape.

Step 4: Secure the Bouquet

1. Gather the Stems: Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, hold all the stems together tightly.

2. Tie the Stems: Use floral tape or twine to secure the stems just below the blooms. Wrap it tightly but not too tightly to cause damage to the stems.

Step 5: Trim and Final Touches

1. Trim Again: Trim the stems again to ensure they are an even length and manageable for your vase.

2. Place in Water: Put your bouquet into a vase filled with clean water to keep the roses hydrated.

Step 6: Display and Enjoy

• Find a suitable spot to display your rose bouquet, allowing it to brighten up the space.

This simple guide should help you create a charming rose bouquet suitable for any occasion. Enjoy the process and the beautiful results!
