Roses, Alstroemeria and Freesias

The bouquet suits a birthday, a thank-you or a gift for someone close. Alstroemeria is regarded as a flower of friendship and also symbolises abundance and good fortune.

Roses and freesias set the main tone in pink and white shades, while gypsophila between them adds airiness. Eucalyptus adds colour and scent, while the greenery forms the base for the flowers and gives volume, shape and tonal contrast.

Keep the vase away from direct sunlight, draughts and ripening fruit, because ethylene from fruit speeds up the wilting of roses. For freesias, remove faded blooms so the buds at the top of the flower spike open as well.
