I bought this vase specifically to display iris blooms, as they have tall, thin, strong bloom stalks. I'm sure it would work equally as well for flowers like roses, gerbera daisies, etc.. But for my purposes with the irises, it's absolutely perfect! They arrived well-packed and completely perfect. Yes, the glass tubes are delicate and probably easy to break. But just be careful and you'll have nothing to worry about. I'd say if you're looking for a unique way to display multiple long-stalked blooms, this is the perfect vase!
