Prep your stems by removing any leaves that may fall below the top of the vase.
Working along the outside, add your first layer of greenery.
Choose the greens that drape the best - in this case it was my privet berry simply because it had a longer stem. On the outside of the vase, angle the greenery so you can see how you’d like it to fall and what length you would like it to be. I like to do this near the edge of a counter top so I can visually see where I need to cut. Cut at an angle, and repeat with all the stems.
Add your second layer of greenery, in this case stems of fresh juniper, again working along the outside. Measure and cut your garden rose blooms working in all directions, turning your vases as you work. Work your way inward.
Continue with any additional flowers.
Fill in any holes with greenery until your arrangement feels full and adjust as needed.
Notes
Cut stems at an angle.Replace with fresh water as needed.Refrigerate to extend the life of the arrangement.Create 1-2 days in advance. Roses get comfortable and tend to open up more over time.
