Tips for Roses Care

KEY TIPS FOR SUCCESS: re-cut stem ends every 1-3 days. Keep vase full of water; use floral preservative. Display in cool area.

• Immediately upon arrival, remove foliage which would be below water line in your arrangement. Avoid injuring stem bark.
• Re-cut stems at an angle with sharp knife or clippers. Place roses in clean, deep container filled with lukewarm water and floral preservative. 
• To arrange, use a clean vase with ample water capacity (Roses are very thirsty flowers). Keep vase full by adding water with floral preservative daily. If arranging foam is used, insert stems firmly. Keep foam saturated daily.
• If rose begins to wilt, try submerging entire flower and stem in tub or tray of warm water and straighten. Cut 1" from end of stem under water. Allow rose about 2 hours under water to revive. Another option: float the bloom in a bowl or tie or tightly arrange them with their heads just above the top of the vase in a posy style.
• Display roses in cool location, out of direct sun; avoid excessive heat or cold. Keep them away from fruit and cigarette smoke.
• The vase life on roses falls between 4 to 10 days.
