Default First Rose Attempt

Here are a few photos of my first attempt at a rose yesterday. My wife loved it, so did my oldest daughter. So I made a second one for her. Now my youngest wants a "bouquet", looks like I will be making more today. Please take a look, any advice is appreciated.

thanks

Those look great Shawn. If you place the leaves 120 deg. around the stem and bend the stem in a slow curve you can display the rose on it's own tripod. Sometime getting the weight right is hard but you can bend the leaves a little more under the flower to support the weight.
