In a Roses Garden...

Maybe all roads lead to Rome, but in some gardens, all plants lead to the Rose. Roses are true chameleons in the garden. With their glowing blossoms held high, roses always attract attention. They are dramatic enough to be admired from afar and can be planted some distance from the house without diminishing their effect. Roses also bring a feeling of luxury to the landscape. Manny rose classes offer a profusion of blooms on thick, full bushes or even just to fill the corner of a bed.

Roses Garden

Pay attention to the harmony of forms and colors when planning garden around roses. Complementary colors work best, as when "Fritz Nobis", a light pink rose, grows along side purple berberis. Roses can served as elegant filler in a bed or border. In some planting, roses are at their best when they're allowed to play a supporting role. A single "Buff Beauty" bush at the edge of this bed offer a unifying color element to the delphinium and lysimachia.

Buff Beauty Roses

Is there anything in the world of horticulture that says "welcome" better than climbing roses adorning a door? A "Penelope" rose lends a softness inviting to a doorway. Sometimes, even roses that are not classed as climbers can be persuaded to adopt rambling habit. "The Fairy" is an exceedingly vigorous shrub rose that shines when it is left to scurry over a split rail fence or on pergola. As a bonus, it's hardier than most climbers.

Roses are citizen of the world, at home in any domain. Don't be fool to thinking that roses belong only within the confines of a refined bed or classic cottage garden. Even in an area with little rainfall, drought- and heat tolerant roses can be found to ornament the garden. Austrian briar or "Rosa foetida" seems can be found at many front yard gardens in the dry and wild west area.

Biedermeier Bouquet

In fashion history, Biedermeier (1815-1841) is a term of episode in the Romantic era (1810-1890). The typical fashion style of that era was balloon tops, slender waistline and wide blooming skirts with layers of lacy petticoats. This type of bouquet, which is called beidermeier, has a design that is full of circling floral structures. Each layer shows a different type of flowers or a different color.

Biedermeier bouquet usually used as a bridal bouquet. Offering a bridal bouquet when a girl marries is a symbol that she, the bride, will never marry again until death separates the bride from the groom. The bridal bouquet can be combined with candle and usually added by some accessories like ribbon and pearl. The bridal bouquet holder used to had an additional part at the bottom, which support the bridal bouquet to have a stable upright position.

A simple Beidermeier bouquet also can be made as a hand tied bouquet. We arrange the flowers and the stems hold together very close and tight until it form a full and stable bouquet. Then, we tide the stems all together with a rope or wire and cover it all with ribbons.
