Arranging Roses by Emma Gray
"Arranging Roses" has a wealth of projects, which make the most of every kind of rose, from miniature roses to modern and traditional roses, dried roses and fresh roses. Designs range from the simple and restrained to the flamboyant. Fresh roses sumptuous in colour and scent are combined in an old fashioned garden rose arrangement, rose crowns and Valentine's Day rings. Dried roses rich in form and texture are used in the autumnal rose bundle and in rustic tussie mussies. The arrangements use fruits, seed heads and twigs to give a contemporary angle to the project as well as the traditional styles. The book offers ideas for table swags, floral wedding decorations, tablecentre-pieces, rose topiaries, celebrational decorations, circlets, wreaths, garlands, candle cuffs and bouquets. All are illustrated with photographs and explained step-by-step. "Arranging Roses" shows you how to display roses to their greatest potential. This book is suitable for both the beginner and experienced flower arranger.
