Hi, I want to stretch myself and try some new sugar flowers for my up-coming birthday cake.  I know I want to try David Austin roses, but what other flowers would look natural in an arrangement with them?  I'm out of inspiration and open to suggestion :-)

Many thanks.

Anyone, please?

AIn my opinion, David Austin roses stand on their own. I would just add some small filler flowers. Best wishes and happy birthday!

Thanks, Krypto.  I was hoping to make a couple of natural looking sprays to place on the cake, with a mixture of different flowers.  Maybe DA roses are too much for that sort of arrangement?

AI think this arrangement is lovely and the smaller flowers don't overwhelm the DA rose.

Looking through your first link, I really like this arrangement:

But putting the DA roses instead of the normal roses.  What do you think?  It'd need to be a bit smaller to fit round the cake.

AThat is beautiful!
