Roses and freesias

The bouquet is made of nine deep pink roses that stand out as its most striking element. Between them sit white freesias and small chamomile flowers with yellow centres, which add lightness to the whole arrangement.

Silvery green, leathery eucalyptus leaves and green fillers frame the blooms and add a fresh herbal scent.

Nine roses match the Czech custom of giving cut flowers in an odd number, so the bouquet suits a thoughtful gesture for someone close.

Remove leaves from the stems that would sit below the waterline so the water in the vase stays clean.
