When people think of flowers, one bloom immediately comes to mind—the timeless rose. Elegant, romantic, and incredibly versatile, roses have remained the world's most beloved flower for centuries.

Caring for Your Cut Roses
Fresh roses can remain beautiful for many days when properly cared for. Here are a few simple tips from our floral designers:
Trim approximately one inch off each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water.
Use a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water.
Add the flower food provided with your arrangement.
Change the water every two to three days.
Re-trim the stems whenever you change the water.
Remove any leaves that fall below the water line.
Keep roses away from direct sunlight, heating vents, air conditioners, and fresh fruit, which releases ethylene gas that can shorten flower life.
Enjoy your flowers in a cool room whenever possible.
Following these simple steps will help your roses stay fresh and vibrant even longer.
