Rose Care Guide
To extend the beauty of the roses you have just received, we recommend you care for them by following a few simple tips.
How do I look after roses in a box?
If you have received your roses while at the work, they can be left in the box with the water phials until you arrive home.
Once you are ready to put your roses in a vase, follow these simple instructions:-
- Remove gift-wrapping and any water vials from the roses if they have them.
- Choose a vase. Preferably tall enough to showcase the roses. Add fresh water up to three quarters full.
- Trim the stems of the green foliage first and place in vase to create a framework in which to position the roses.
- Cut approximately 1cm off each rose stem with sharp scissors at an angle and then place them into the vase.
- Place your flowers in a cool, draft free position.
- If flowers begin to wilt, recut the stems, clean the vase and refill with fresh water.
