I am sending you warm wishes for a happy St Valentines Day.
What could be more lovely than a large bunch of pink roses.
These roses are wrapped loosely in pink weave wrap.
To show off their beauty these roses would be perfect arranged on their own in a clear glass vase filled three quarters of the way with water.
Always choose a container to suit the size of the arrangement.
For good balance the flowers should stand at least one and a half times the height of the container but can always go higher.
Men often buy red flowers - but studies have shown many women prefer pink.
St Valentines Day is usually the busiest day for the florist. Red flowers are in short supply at St Valentines Day so the florist should also stock pink flowers so they can offer an alternative choice.

I hope you are enjoying your day.
The weather here today is just perfect and the gardens look wonderful.
Roses are the most loved flowers in the world.
There are thousands of varieties in many shades from the palest to the most vibrant colours.
Roses are named after famous people including Audrey Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Agatha Christie, John F Kennedy and Paul McCartney.
Queen Elizabeth has had several roses named after her.
It's best to pick roses in the early morning or late evening when there is the most moisture in the air.
Cut the stems on a slant and remove the lower leaves from the stems. Place them in a container filled one third with water in a cool spot for several hours before arranging them.
You can use a commercial preservative or a capful of household bleach to help cut down on bacteria so the roses will last longer. This is called conditioning.
If you buy roses cut the ends of the stems on a slant and condition them in the same way.
In the Floristry Course you will learn tips on how to keep different varieties of flowers fresh for the longest possible time.
