Pink French Rose and Hydrangea Bouquet

Six pink French roses with wide-open petals surround three cream peony-style roses. A pale hydrangea brings the larger flowers together, while two stems of spray roses add smaller pink buds. Light grey wrapping and a pale ribbon keep the focus on the flowers.

The roses sit at different heights, showing both the turned-back petals and the tighter centres of the cream blooms. This bouquet suits someone who enjoys soft pink colours and an open outline. Hydrangea flower-head size changes with the season, so the bouquet's volume may vary. The composition still contains one hydrangea stem.

At home, use a clean vase that supports the stems. Refresh the cut ends before placing the bouquet in water and remove leaves below the waterline. Check the water daily and change it regularly. Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators and air-conditioning vents.
