YELLOW AND RED ROSES

Roses are beautiful flowers but so often people seem afraid to mix contrasting colours.  I bought these today to liven up my living room, and they have.  I think that the individual flowers are so much more striking in contract.  The last Marks and Spencers' roses that I bought lasted for 4 weeks, and I hope these do the same.  I always buy the short-stemmed roses which, apart from being cheaper, makes sense as I'd only cut the stems off anyway.

Actually, under artificial light, they look very similar to the pink and white roses that lasted such a long time.  What was remarkable about them lasting was that they were in a very warm room, between two lamps in the evening.  Roses usually last longer in a cold room.  Don't forget to cut back the stems at an angle every now and then to make them last longer.
