Caring for Roses.
Published: Wednesday 4 February 2015
Hello, Flower Doctor here,
Caring for Roses.
What to look for:
-Flowers with strong stems to support blooms.
-Slightly open buds, this will vary between varieties but in general if given the correct care then the vase life will be better for those slightly open rather than a tight bud.
What to do:
-The vase life of the rose is highly dependent on the rose being kept well hydrated at all times.
-Re-cut the stems underwater on an angle with a sharp knife or secateurs.
-Use commercial preservative in the water.
-Remove all the leaves that will go below the water line.
What to avoid:
-Do not place in the sun or draughts.
-Do not place on top of the televison.
