With a quick trip to the market, you can create a beautiful rose arrangement for any special occasion, or just to treat yourself.

Whether you buy your flowers at a florist or your local grocery store, be careful to select fresh, crisp blossoms. Examine the petals, stems, and leaves. The stems should look as though they've been freshly cut, the petals firm, and the leaves perky.

Choose your rose colors to coordinate with your interior decor or select seasonal colors, such as yellow for Easter, pink for Valentine's Day, or red for Christmas.

Follow the simple steps to create this beautiful arrangement.
