Preparing Flowers for Floral Arrangements

Now, that we've greened our container. We're going to prep our flowers. So, we're going to remove the leaves that are going to go below waterline. You always have to remove the leaves; otherwise your water will smell really bad. And, it will cause bacteria in the water. So, on the roses we are removing the leaves and the thorns.
