Picking Roses for a Rose Bouquet

Next, I'm going to select the roses. There's many different varieties of roses, there's spray roses, there's, these are a large variety of a tea rose. They're a very large variety, but they're pretty. And there's also long stemmed roses, there's many different varieties, colors, etc. Now we're going to want to choose a rose that's going to last a long time. On this particular design, I'm going to use the pink roses, because first of all they have a nice height and we want our roses to be one and a half to two times the height of the container. One is fine actually. So, we're going to use these. They're nice and big roses too. Now to select a really good rose, all you need to do is, squeeze it. And by squeezing it, you want it to feel very firm. Because that means it's got a lot of life left in it. It will open up quite a bit more. So, if you find a rose that is like this, it's very pretty, but it's not going to last very long, because when you squeeze it, you can almost, you can pinch it really tight. So that's how you can select a rose that is going to last for quite a long time.
