Thanks again! Yes, it is very fragrant! Seems like my fragrant hybrid teas and floribundas are especially fragrant at this time, even Liebeszauber is very fragrant right now! I love that so many beautiful roses have the added bonus of a wonderful fragrance!

Sara-Ann ,Beautiful and colorful bouquet . how long do you cut the stems ? I am new in growing roses and I cut my new blooms to the first 5 leaf which is only 3 or 4 inches long . had to find a short and wide vase to accommodate only 4 roses .

Now that would have to cheer anyone up! Thanks!

Thank you! Pink rose, I don't cut very long stems unless I'm using a bud vase. I would say the longest stem length is 8 or 9 inches, I generally place those around the outer part of the vase, then use the shorter ones to fill in. If I wanted a different look I might cut longer stems. When I first started making these it would take two or three tries, until I was pleased with the way it looked, it's getting a little easier. I think I'm becoming obsessed, I'm thinking of different varieties and other flowers I could plant, to make all kinds of bouquets.

Sara-Ann,

so you think I should cut 9 inch long stems ? I will try although my roses are under a year old . here are couple of mini bouquets I tried to make today .

Pink rose, you really don't have to cut them that long, that is how long some of mine are, as long as there's enough length for them to stay securely in the vase. Just practice on what works for you in different types of vases. I recently bought a short vase for the ones with short stems. I do realize roses need some maturity for those longer stems.

BTW, your arrangement is lovely!

Thanks sara-Ann , my bouquets are simple babies compared to your beautiful ones ! I will practice putting them all in one vase .

The most important thing to remember is to enjoy yourself, and hopefully brightening someone's day, sometimes with just a single rose,
