Care Guide

Fresh Flower Care Guide
 
1. Cut the Stems
One of the most common mistakes people make after receiving flowers is forgetting to cut the stems after receiving them. Use garden shears or flower scissors to trim one to two inches off and cut at an angle. Cutting the stems at an angle allows for better water intake. After the initial cut, be sure to re-trim your bouquet once every few days.


2. Change Water Frequently
Keep the vase full of water to ensure the flowers do not dry out and wilt. By changing the water in the vase every 2-3 days, even if the water hasn’t been used up, will help keep your flowers fresh longer . For large formal arrangements, carefully tip the vase over a sink to let the water drain without disturbing the design. Then re-fill the vase by gently pouring water in at the top of the flowers.

 
3. Find the Right Spot for Your New Arrangement
Keep fresh flowers away from drafts and extreme temperatures, which can quickly dry out the flowers and cause wilting. Also, avoid placing flower arrangements in windowsills and other areas with full sun where flowers can wilt due to overheating. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

 
 
Preserved Roses

WHAT ARE PRESERVED ROSES?
Preserved roses are natural, fresh roses that undergo a chemical preservation process to dry out the flower without stripping away the majority of its texture or natural color. The chemical used is a mixture of glycerin and other natural plant elements that re-hydrates the rose. This allows them to stay in perfect shape for at least 2 years, if cared for properly.
 
HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM DRIED ROSES?
Because air dried flowers have been completely dehydrated, they are not long lasting and can break or lose petals extremely easily. The regular drying out process also strips the vibrancy of the color from the flower, leaving it looking dull.
