Care of Your Roses

Our roses generally last quite well, shedding their petals after

6 or 7 days, as nature intended. To appreciate your roses for as

long as possible there are a few things I can suggest for you:

*   Clean vases are critical. Bacteria left in a dirty vase will quickly destroy any blooms. 

     I put most of our vases in the dishwasher to clean.

*   Rinse the stems with clean water.

*   Cut 2cm from the bottom of the stems under water to prevent air bubbles entering the stem and shortening the life of the bloom.

*   Change water regularly, daily if possible.

*   Don't place a vase in direct sunlight, but in the coolest part of your room.
