Roses

Roses are striking and gorgeous but are not known for their long vase-life. There are steps you can take to ensure you give them the best possible life in your vase after you have chosen them from the team at Stems Flower Market.

First, it is essential that you snip the end of the stems to ensure the water has the best possible chance of getting up to the rose head where it is needed to bring your flower to its full potential. Remove the leaves from below the water line, give the flowers some food which we provide at Stems. It is also a good idea to keep them out of direct sunlight and other elements such as heat from a heater. 

If the rose heads start flopping over soon after you have purchased them, this often means they are dehydrated. Don't despair, rehydrate them by recutting their stems and putting them in a big vase of water up to their heads their entire stem in water overnight.

It's amazing how this works - try it!
