Tips for keeping your roses fresh and thriving!

As someone who LOVES roses, I’ve finally cracked the code for keeping them fresh for 10-15 days! 🌹 The secret? It’s all about properly waking up the flowers and giving them that one perfect water setup! Here’s what you need to do: Wake them up: No need to cut leaves or prick thorns. Just remove any damaged petals and leaves. Use tap water to wake them up. Make sure your flower bucket is tall enough for the roses to stand straight. Cut the stems at a 45° angle to help them drink up more water. Let them soak in the bucket for 4-6 hours (no longer than 12 hours). Care for them: Trim excess leaves (leave just 1-2). Use filtered or clean tap water in your vase (5-8 cm of water). Add a little plant food and a drop of bleach to keep the water clean. Don’t overcrowd the flowers and avoid direct sunlight. Key points: The outer petals are protective, don’t remove them. Never spray the flower heads with water—this can lead to rot. Keep the water level consistent and don’t change it. Hope these tips help your roses last longer! Let me know if you’ve got any tricks of your own! 🌸 #RoseCare #FlowerLovers #FreshRoses
