Roses Top is a pair rather than a single piece. One arrangement sits raised in a matte black footed vessel, the other sits low and directly on the surface, and they are designed to be placed at different heights along the same table so they read as one setting.
Both are built almost entirely from deep red roses, packed dense and close with very little foliage showing, so the surface is continuous petal. Rose reached us from China, Persia and the Mediterranean, and in this depth of red its association with love and admiration needs no help; the warm honeyed scent is the only fragrance in either piece.
A single near-black dahlia sits above each arrangement on a bare stem, dark enough to read as a shadow rather than a flower, and its tight geometric petals are the one place the eye can rest. Small dark viburnum berries are tucked between the roses in tight clusters, glossy and almost black, adding weight at close range.
Each piece holds one rose-pink taper candle, bound at the base with fine gold thread, rising straight out of the roses. The candles are what make this a table setting rather than a centrepiece: lit, the pink flame-light sits directly above the red. It suits anniversaries, Valentine's dinners, proposals and formal dining.
Roses drink heavily and the two pieces should be topped up daily rather than every few days, particularly in a warm dining room. Recut the stems at a sharp angle every two to three days and remove any leaf sitting below the waterline. The dark dahlia is the shortest-lived element and can be replaced on its own. Trim the candles before each use and never leave them burning unattended near the flowers, which sit close beneath the flame.

Keep the water clean and shallow rather than deep, as gerbera stems are prone to bending and rotting when left to sit in too much of it. The roses drink heavily, so check the level daily and top it up before it drops below the stem ends. Ranunculus carry delicate, papery petals and slim stems, so handle them gently and keep the bunch out of direct sun and away from any draught or heat. A fresh angled cut every couple of days helps all three blooms draw water freely and hold their form.
