If you've visited my blog before, you know that I'm a florist-in-learning. So today I'm going to tell you a story of a bunch of pink roses, which I've got my hands on, and how I've used them over and over again, to practice as much as possible... I guess your average rose - once it's cut - usually ends up in one arrangement or bouquet, and there it stays till the end of it life... Well, my roses have a much more intensive and exciting existence ;-) Obviously, such a rose will first ge used in a boquet with other flowers, since at the begining its stem is the longest. So step 1 is a bouquet such as this: Once I'm satisfied with practicing bouquet-binding, step 2 for my pink rose is to shed its leaves while still keepeing the stem long, and to be used in a graphical arrangement - such as this: Step 3 - shorter bouquets, with unusual shapes, such as e.g. an arch-shaped one: Step 4 - the stem gets shortened, and my rose gets to pose for photographs in a number of average-sized arrangements, in various containers: Step 5 - the by-now-slightly-tired rose gets even shorter, and acts as a focal point in a number of tiny arrangements: Step 6 - and yes, there is a step 6, since cutting off almost the entire stem is not the final step in this story of rose-reduction - my rose must shed its petals, which are perfect for a variety of interesting projects - such us these original wedding arrangements: And that's how interesting a life of a rose can be in the hands of an aspiring florist ;-)
