Let's represent the number of tulips as x.
Since there are twice as many roses as tulips, then the number of roses is 2*x.
The total number of tulips and roses is x + 2*x = 45.
Combining like terms, we get 3*x = 45.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 15.
Therefore, there are 15 tulips and 2*15 = 30 roses. Answer: \boxed{15, 30}.
