Yellow roses for the weekend

I can't keep flowers alive for love nor money. Many a weekend I'd treat myself to a bunch of flowers to decorate my home and within hours they're a wilting mess not to mention my floristry skills aren't the best. If you've read my previous posts (link) you'll know I'm lucky enough to have a fabulous florist who makes all their arrangements with faux flowers which even I'd be hard pushed to kill. When I discovered this gorgeous vintage Victoria Plum jam jar on eBay I knew it was destined for some yellow roses which are my favourite and still look fabulous as we head into Autumn.

Are you a faux flower fan or is that the ultimate faux pas in your book?
