You'll Need:

 

1 block of oasis foam

4 dozen red roses

knife

sissors or floral snips

candle pedestal for base

 

 

To Make:

 

Soak floral foam until completely wet. It will turn a darker shade of green and be heavier.

Cut the block in half , and then with the knife, cut the foam into a ball shape.

Using the snips or sissors, cut the roses to about 3-inches in length. Start with a rose at the top 

point, and begin working out from there. Be sure the blooms are touching each other to create a lush full look.

 

When ball is covered with roses, place it on a candle pedestal or other footed display piece.
