Stylish Rose Designs

Vases inspire varied moods

You want to send someone roses—or arrange your own—but you don’t want that “standard” dozen-roses look. A unique vase can be the inspiration for an original, distinctive design

	A metal container and unique plant materials—pussy willow, purple statice, seeded eucalyptus, red huckleberry, protea leaves and artfully tied lily grass—create an exceptional rose arrangement.
	A tall black urn makes a statement with a cascade of lily grass and sprigs of sweet huckleberry extending up and out for balance above the roses.
	A curvy glass vase makes a sweeping gesture with bunches of lily grass arching beyond the roses, while curly willow acts as support and offers contrast.
