Pink alstroemerias and roses

The bouquet suits a gift for loved ones or a thoughtful gesture without a special occasion. Alstroemerias are regarded as flowers of friendship and also symbolise abundance and good fortune.

The delicate, cup-shaped blooms of lisianthus resemble roses at first glance, so they blend easily into the bouquet. Gypsophila adds an airy lightness, while eucalyptus, with its leathery silvery-green leaves, brings a fresh herbal scent.

Roses last longer in a vase when they stand away from direct sunlight, draughts and ripening fruit, whose ethylene speeds up wilting. Remove the leaves from the stems of the greenery that would sit below the waterline, as they would quickly spoil the water.
