A bouquet of roses can last up to a week.
In this article we will tell you about the main secrets of how to preserve fresh flowers in a vase for a long time.
Place the flowers in the vase as quickly as possible
The maximum cut flowers without water is only 1-3 hours. In addition, roses do not tolerate frost well.
Give roses a clean cut
Before placing roses in water, cut the stems at an angle and immediately place the flowers in the water.
This is important because if you wait too long between cutting the rose and placing it in water, air bubbles will form in the stem, which can cause the rose to become poorly hydrated.
Use a sharp object to cut the stems.
Regular scissors are often not sharp enough for this task.
When pruning roses, you will need either a very sharp knife or pruning shears.
Change the water regularly
Change the water in the vase daily.
When you change the water in a vase, be sure to give your roses a fresh cut.
Additionally, use one or two packets (depending on how much you need) of flower food.
