General Care Instructions

1. Cut the roses at an angle and remove foliage

Cutting your roses at an angle will maximise the surface area of the stem that is drinking up the water! It's good to leave a little foliage on the stem to keep the arrangement fuller. But we recommend to remove any foliage thats below the waterline.

 

 

2. Remove guard petals

Don't worry if it looks like your roses are a little brown or discoloured on arrival. The outer petals are what's known as the 'guard petals', they protect the rose whilst they make their journey to you. You can simply remove these and the roses will bloom beautifully.

3. Place in deep water

Roses will need a lot to drink so it's important to choose a vase that will make them look pretty as well as keeping them at their best. Roses seem to hydrate better in deeper and water that is lukewarm (not hot).

4. Ensure there is enough space between the stems

Placing too many stems in a vase will not give the roses enough room to open up and the lack of room will make it harder for them to feel hydrated. It's important to prevent premature moulding to the leaves and blooms by keeping them apart.

5. Enjoy your roses as they bloom

If you follow these handy tips then they should last for 7-12 days.

We hope you have found these tips helpful and your beautiful blooms last as long as possible.
