After receiving your roses, you can take several steps to extend the enjoyment of your flowers. While flowers have a limited life, by following these care and handling tips you can extend the enjoyment of your roses 7 to 10 days in total.
- Select your vase and mix the fresh flower food with a measured amount of warm water in the vase. Warm water will speed up the flower's ability to absorb the water and flora food. It should be comfortable to your touch, not too hot or too cold.
- Recut the rose stems under water before you arrange them in the vase. Cut 1 to 2 inches off the bottom of the stem with a sharp knife or shears.
- The flora food and warm water should last for several days, but roses require a lot of water, so replace the floral food and water solution as the roses use it. Repeat step 2.
