Bouquet for Joy

The bouquet is built on red roses, the most classic choice for declaring love and one of the most sought-after cut flowers of all.

The roses are joined by mini gerberas and chrysanthemums. A mini gerbera is a smaller relative of the gerbera and carries a single bright flower with a distinct centre on each stem.

Hypericum is used in floristry for its glossy coloured berries, not for its flower, and the green fillers form the base that gives the bouquet volume, shape and colour contrast.

The bouquet suits birthdays, a thank-you or a celebration, when classic red is meant to express joy.

Before placing the bouquet in a vase, remove the leaves from the lower part of the stems, because they break down quickly in water and spoil it.
