Using a Smithers Oasis Elegant Bouquet Holder for Roses

The Smithers Oasis "Elegant" holder is a foam-based bouquet handle. Here’s how to use it with roses.

Stem Insertion Depth

Leave stems as long as possible without poking through the back. Minimum 1 inch insertion; longer is better for water uptake and security.

Preventing Flower Drop

FloraLock (Oasis Lomey line) is a spray adhesive for floral foam. After arranging:

1. Lightly spray foam and stem bases.
2. Work sparingly—excess drips down the handle.
3. Commit to the design first; no changes after FloraLock sets.

FloraLock may require florist ordering; not typically in craft stores.
