Traditional Rose Flower Arrangement

When it comes to Valentine's Day flowers or anniversary flowers, you can't go wrong with giving a traditional arrangement of a dozen red roses accented with baby's breath (gypsophilia). The following video gives step by step instructions on how to arrange a dozen roses in a vase.

This video uses red freedom roses, gypsophilia, tree fern (Asparagus), and leather leaf (Rumohra). You can obtain these supplies at your local florist. Grocery stores often have great floral departments where you can also buy these supplies individually.

The cheapest place to buy a glass floral vase is at a thrift store. If you can't find what you're looking for there, try the floral department at your local grocery store, they usually have the best selection this time of year. Another way to obtain nice floral vases is to order flowers online, and include a vase in your order or go to your local florist. Of course, if you have an account with a flower wholesaler, you can also get great deals on vases from them as well.

Proflowers.com often offers a free vase with your order:

Flower Care tips for ProFlowers Arrangements and Flowers

The following link will take you directly to the ProFlowers Flower Care page for instructions and tips for caring for your fresh flowers and helping them to last longer. As their flowers come directly from the field (which makes them last longer), they need some additional care.

These tips apply to all fresh flowers as well. To learn how to care for roses, irises, tulips, Peruvian Lilies (Alstroemeria) and more, visit ProFlowers Flower Care page.

Order flowers online and have them delivered directly to your door.

The Proflower Difference

What makes flowers from Proflower.com stand out? Proflowers sends you flowers straight from the field, which guarantees freshness. Other online florists send the orders to your local florists, who fills the order. The flowers there came from a wholesaler, and then have been sitting in the florists cooler for several days. Flowers ordered from your local florist or other online florists could be weeks old. Flowers from Proflowers will last longer.




While the flowers may last longer, there is one important thing to remember. Flowers that come straight from the field will most likely arrive in bud form. This means that the flowers or blossoms, will be closed and tight, and it will take a few days for them to open up. So it is important that you order the flowers a little bit early, and then take care to put them in warm water with the flower preservative that came with them. The combination of warm water and flower preservative will help the flowers open up and be in their most beautiful stage.

And as the flowers will come delivered in a box, they may need a little help being arranged. If you do ever happen to receive a flowers that aren't quite arranged, ProFlowers offers some helpful tips. This video shows you how to assemble your flowers in a vase.




The important things to remember are: remove outside petals on roses, cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife or flower cutters, and add flower preservative to the water. The flower preservative is found in a small packet with the flowers. Removing the outside petals of roses is easy. They are tougher than the inside, and often times are a bit bruised or torn, so they are easily identifiable. Just gently pull them down and break them off.

In addition to flowers, Proflowers.com offers a wide variety of gifts and sweets. Shop at ProFlowers and find it all in one place! Enjoy flowers longer from Proflowers.com.

Floral arrangments in baskets are great for displaying at an office, and they can last a long time if you continue to water them, floral foam needs watered added to it. Sometimes baskets or containers are more advantageous because you don't see they water get dirty when you don't clean it out.
