• To use fresh flowers, insert each rose with 1/4 inch stem into a water-filled aquapic before inserting into the styrofoam ball.
• Use all the same colored pink roses or mix different shades of pink to give your bouquet more depth.
• Buy extra rose to ensure you have enough flowers. If you pick a large sphere ball, buy extra silk roses.
