Rose and Freesia Bouquet

The bouquet combines red roses with pale freesias and greenery, setting the roses against lighter flowers and foliage. Red roses give the bouquet a romantic meaning, making it suitable for expressing affection. Freesias carry a fan of tubular flowers on each stem. Their pronounced sweet fragrance suits a bouquet intended to appeal not only through colour but also through scent. Before placing the bouquet in a vase, remove any leaves from the foliage stems that would sit below the waterline, as they quickly spoil the water.
