WIRING

All flowers, including roses, are much easier to arrange if one uses in the container some device that will steady the blooms and hold them in the positions desired. Sometimes sawdust or sphagnum moss is used, but better results are obtained with needle-point holders or wire-netting crumpled into a ball that is fairly compact and fits the container tightly. The holders are on sale at most florists' shops. Wiring of even a few of the blooms makes arrangement easier. In baskets there should always be a layer of leaves or sphagnum moss covering the wire or holder and the top of the basket.
