Chrysanths and Roses

A hand-tied bouquet of chrysanthemums and roses works as a versatile gift for a birthday or as a thank-you.

Santini has short, firm stems and small flowers, so it fills gaps between larger blooms and rounds out the shape of the bouquet. Lisianthus has delicate, cup-shaped flowers that at first glance resemble a rose.

Waxflower has small, waxy flowers on needle-like twigs and a delicately aromatic scent. Green fillers form the base of the bouquet that the flowers are tied into, adding volume, shape and colour contrast.

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