Radishes and Roses
For seasonal arrangements I like to mix flowers and vegetables. You can use whatever flowers and vegetables are available but roses and radishes are my personal favorite. This is a show stopping arrangement and a true farm to table centerpiece!
What you need:
- 6” round glass vase – squeaky clean
- 24 – 36 red radishes, thoroughly washed
- 18 red roses, outermost petals & leaves removed
- 7 – 8 oz clean water
Assembly
Wash the radishes thoroughly to remove all dirt, ensuring a clean and vibrant look. Leave the thin roots intact for a natural touch.
Add the radishes to the vase, filling it halfway to two-thirds full to create a stable base for the roses.
Pour water into the vase until it reaches halfway up, keeping the radishes hydrated and supporting the roses.
Trim the rose stems to your desired height to fit the arrangement.
Insert the roses into the radishes, trimming as needed for balanced coverage from all angles.
Step back, admire your creation, and enjoy the compliments!
Tip: A stem stripper tool quickly removes thorns and leaves from roses.
