Brighten Your Day with Roses

I love fresh-cut flowers. There is simply no other substitute.  Waking up with a fresh bouquet makes me so happy.  These are actually long stem roses.  I wanted to display them differently rather than placing them in a tall vase.  I found this short fat jar laying around that is slightly bigger than a mason jar so I thought this was perfect. I chopped the stems off leaving the ones on the outer edge shorter and the ones in the center longer and cut them to a bulbous shape.  How beautiful is this display!  So elegant and effortless. If you want a more modern look, this is perfect rather than the traditional tall vase.  The roses in the back are pink and yellow, but I dried those out.
