Testing, testing 1 - 2- 12

Well we have 12 new garden roses here and I am testing them out - vase life, how they open, how long they last, mould and botritus resistance, petals creasing ... blah blah blah.  So this is the peony alternative, these babies are expensive but beautiful. In a standard shop you can pay up to 7.50 a stem. This arrangement Is worth $75.00 but it is truly a Martha Stewart experience to have this on your guest tables. Of course you do not need to have a full vase of these, they can be beautifully arranged in some viburnium berry greens and look stunning!  This would also make a lovely bouquet!
Let me know what you think of them.
