Cut Flowers

Cutting flowers out of your own garden is pure pleasure. Experiment with different colors and combinations for unique looks.

• It's best to cut roses early in the morning or late in the evening (though you should have success any time of day as long you get them right into water).
• The flowers will last the longest if you cut them when the buds are just starting to unfurl. Blossoms that are fully opened can still be used to sprinkle on the table with your centerpiece or collected for potpourris.
• Don't forget to use the pretty orange hips for your fall arrangements.
