| Hydrangea Common names: hydrangea, hortensia Hydrangea (scientific name: Hydrangea) is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (from Japan to China, the Himalaya and Indonesia) and North and South America. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous. Four-petaled flowers grow in round clusters that are usually 4 to 8 inches wide. Flowers bloom in white, lavender and pink. While the hydrangea has been a favorite in the garden or landscape for years, it has become a popular cut flower to enhance garden-style flower arrangements. |

| Rose Common names: tea rose, sweetheart rose, spray rose. A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa. With almost 120 varieties available, roses are a classic favorite. Roses span the color spectrum with varieties available in all shades of reds, pinks, purples, oranges, corals, peaches and whites. Tea roses open 3 to 4 inches and stems can be 12 to 30 inches. Spray roses can have several flowers on one stem. Depending on the variety, roses typically last 4 to 7 days. Special care: Remove foliage that falls below the water line to reduce bacteria, which can cloud water and clog stems. Recut stems under water every two to three days. |
