  • Question
    Is it true that cutting the thorns from rose stems can cause the rose to get a fungus and die quicker?
    Community Answer
    No, but it's best not to cut it, just in case it dies of something else. And by the way, thorns are there for a reason.

  • Question
    Can I do this with just baby's breath?
    Community Answer
    No, because baby's breath is just a filler flower. You can add baby's breath to the arrangement instead.

  • Question
    Step 3 says the first/center rose should be 1 to 1-1/2 times again the height of the vase. The photo illustration seems to show it only about half again the height of the vase. Can you clarify?
    Community Answer
    If the vase is 10 inches tall, the tallest rose would be 15 inches tall (10 plus 10X.5), maximum. A 12-inch vase would be 18 inches max (12 plus 12X.5). But it doesn't have to be so precise - you just want the inner roses to be taller so that they show from behind the ones in the front.

  • Question
    Does it have to be roses? Can it be another species of flower?
    Community Answer
    If you think the flower species looks nice displayed in this method, then yes. Flower arranging can be a good way of expressing personal interests and personality, so if you think it looks good, then your flowers are your kind of nice. Learning about colors affecting moods may be useful, and balancing of petal size helps convey your message effectively.
