I made many, many fresh floral arrangements using just red roses, for a December wedding last week. Tall and short arrangements for the tables at the reception. I was helping a friend who booked the wedding. All in all we used well over 1000 fresh red roses! The red roses are pretty hardy and are easy to work with, it's just labor intensive to make so many arrangements. Here are a few pics...

These were on the Bride and Grooms table, she wanted the red roses with some red carnations mixed in, three graduating sizes on mirrors. So very pretty.
