How To: Put together a fall flower arrangement with roses

The flower god demonstrates how to arrange a beautiful rose arrangement for your fall table. A dozen yellow roses, greenery and safflower are used to construct this masterpiece. To begin you need a vase filled with fresh clean water. The flower god shows how to lace the stems of the greenery in and out of one another. The laced stems are then placed in vase and eucalyptus is placed throughout vase giving a cascading effect. Next it is time to prepare the roses. Thorns need to be removed off the bottom of the stem with a knife. The leaves also need to be removed off the part of the stem which will be under water. Leaves will contaminate the water if left on and cause the vase to turn green. Always cut roses under water. Place best rose at top center. Then place four roses down a few inches at next level. Continue this process until all roses are used. Use safflowers to fill in bare spots. Turn arrangement while working to get a good view from all angles. Following these simple instruction will result in a beautiful arrangement for your fall table.
