Summertime produces some giant beauties such as these peonies and garden roses. Peonies are known for their huge luscious flowers. And garden roses may not last as long as hot house roses, but they do open up for a showy large bloom. These roses are cut from my flower bed in an array of soft pastel colors and they are pared with deep pink peonies. These roses were selected not only for their large blooms, but also for their fragrance.
This arrangement uses only one bunch of Peonies with a variety of Garden Roses. It is small and relatively simple. It’s made in a blue glass Ball Jar with a taped grid.
If you have your flowers and Mason Jar, let’s begin.
Here are your flowers and the blue Ball Canning Jar.
Here are your tools.
