Kia ora Koutou

It has been a while since I have made any big flowers as I have been having a lot of problems with arthritis in my hands. However, I saw a challenge called ‘Peace’ in a Facebook group I belong to and I couldn’t resist getting my Susan’s Garden Floribunda Roses dies to make a Peace Rose. I have tried making this rose for a long time and I have finally realised that this rose is a very vibrant yellow with touches of pink on the outer petals so I was very happy with how my rose turned out – almost like the real Peace rose. I have added some Forget-Me Knots from Susan’s Garden to help us remember those that have been lost in wars over the centuries and the sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations and is a reminder that Love is what makes the world so much better.
