They DO look like roses. Interesting. You have to paint them white - dry brush - they'd look so pretty on a plate or glass jar. Nice find!
Your weather is opposite to ours. We are in the deep freeze that hit north central america. I live in southern Ontario and we got a ton of snow and wind and cold.....brrrrr
I put them on bamboo skewers and added my two real roses for the season.
We live in California...lots of sun this winter.
Oh that looks soooo pretty....and rustic. Love what you did!!
