Pink roses stand for gratitude, affection grace and love. Here is an unusual floral arrangement for giving; not as a bouquet or in a box, but an out-of-the-box way of gifting these lovely blossoms.
Like yellow, pink roses are perfect for just about any occasion. Like they say, when in doubt – pick pink. And if there is dilemma between picking roses or a gift, just combine them both into one awesome presentation that works as a gift, a table centerpiece, or a hand delivered floral arrangment.
A bunch of pink roses, a block of florists foam, and a satin ribbon is all you need to gift wrap your love, for your loved ones. Here is a quick and easy DIY tutorial on making a box of roses with step-step-approach to making this lovely box of roses.
Step 1: Line the base of the florists foam with foil or plastic (to prevent water leakage).
Step 2: Starting from the base, start inserting roses onto the foam.
Step 3: Line up the roses in straight lines and fill the top. You could use single color, double color, multicolor or color gradient flower lines.
Step 4: Firmly press the flowers all around the brick. Check for any loose insertions and adjust accordingly.
Once the brick of roses is ready, all you need is a lovely satin bow to complete the picture transforming it into a breathtaking box that smells so divine.
Legend has it that pink roses, before the other colors, were the oldest on earth. As they can express a variety of emotions, meanings and suggestions, they are second to the red ones. I shall, some day, write about the meaning of pink roses… for they are very close to my heart.

Colors of love,
New friendships,
Sweet memories,
Soul mates…expressing inner thoughts,
Roses from heavens float down for us to give,
Solace to our beloveds.
Blessings forever and always……
I will keep these roses in my heart till my last day!
Always yours in peace,
Mystic Peace Poet.
