.Red Rose by Lynda Dearden

Wow - that's quite a challenge but you have managed it very well. She should be delighted! Good luck with the wrapping!

An artist friend of mine who has to send stuff all over the place recommends "stiffy bags". Just google them to find their website. They're quite well priced and come in a range of sizes. 3' x 4' is one big rose!

Thank you so much Janet you may have solved my problem. I have emailed them about the challenge and will be interested in their reply. It is a big rose :)
