646Q Altea rose. ~1,7m high. Not easy...
I'm in love with this rose design!

Original design by Antonio Altea (Antonio Bécares Rodríguez).

Hi Leslie
I do like this I may try and make one for Valentines day, but I like the view from your window as well is that were you live or were you on holiday?

That isn't a window, just a poster from the beautiful island of Simi, Greece. (I'm a greek/Greece fan.)
In fact this is my room in Budapest, Hungary where I live.

Ok, I've modified a little: shorted the stem and twisted only one turn of horizontal 350Q.
Will use at weekend as Valentine's Day flower vase to hold the single flowers and heart wands to sell.

I think I kind of like the looks of the first one better.  I don't know why...maybe not so much empty space?
I like the added curlies on it too.

Well, as rose don't looks too good, but as a vase - maybe....

For a while as a rose again: "big love - big flower" composition...
Just playing with the big rose and searching for a function...

The shorter one isn't too bad for a vase...it has loads of potential.

I still like the taller one.  I've been thinking about it...what if you were to add some leaves under the petals and maybe even put some thorns on the stem?  Just a thought.
