Carnations Mix

The bouquet combines orange and peach roses and carnations with green santini and foliage. Santini have short, sturdy stems and small flowers that fill gaps between larger blooms and help round out the bouquet's shape. Alongside large-flowered carnations, spray carnations are also used; each stem carries several smaller flowers. The smaller flowers of spray roses look gentler than those of large-flowered varieties and suit romantic arrangements. Keep the vase of roses away from direct sunlight, draughts and ripening fruit, as ethylene from the fruit speeds up wilting.
