Next folded across the leaves, lay around the base, like petals. For a large rose leaves more leaves. We protrude the sticking stems with threads, wrapping with a green paper tape. For a small bouquet, 3-5 roses of medium size are enough. Roses made of maple leaves can be put in a vase. Around the flowers you can add leaves. The bouquet will last longer if it is covered with hairspray. Roses made of maple leaves look great in a wreath at the door. There are a lot of design options, fantasize!
