We want your Valentine’s Day roses to look beautiful for as long as possible. Follow these simple tips to help them thrive well past February 14.
Tip 1: Remove the water picks
Roses are water-picked individually to keep them hydrated during transport. Once home, carefully remove the water picks before placing the stems into a vase with fresh water and theprovided preservative.
Tip 2: Mind the temperature
Cold temperatures can damage roses quickly. Avoid leaving them in cold spaces during transport so they don’t freeze or become stressed.
Tip 3: Trim the stems
Before placing roses in water, trim about one inch from the bottom of each stem using a sharp knife. Cutting under water is ideal and helps the flowers absorb nutrients more effectively.
Tip 4: Keep them hydrated
Check your vase daily and top up the water as needed. Fresh water is key to keeping roses vibrant and long-lasting.
