The story behind the bouquet design Our partner suppliers in this project Our partner colleges in this project	Design Brief British grown flowers, a size of 20 x 25cm, strong visual impact,  Reflect the energy of London 2012. Hardy varieties that will withstand varying temperatures (there were no cold storage facilities at the venues) and handling by non – experts.   The Flowers Although not indigenous, in our mind the most British flower is the rose. Sadly, although we possess the expertise, no UK grower was currently producing roses for commercial use, so we  commissioned the growing of the roses in the design specifically for this project. The variety of rose used needed to be proven to be robust and long lasting with a history of successful cultivation. < Back                           Next >
