How to care for your roses.

Roses can last you longer if you give them a little love. Simply put, flowers are just like us, they will last better if they have clean water, have the nourishment they need, and are comfortable.

When you receive a bouquet of roses follow these steps:
- Cut 2cm off the stem at an angle, this allows the stem to take water up better.
- Put straight into clean cool water, & if you have some, add a little flower food as per the directions.
- Position your flowers in a cool place out of the sun and wind.
- Change the water every couple of days, cleaning the vase.

When you receive an arrangement in floral foam follow these steps:
- Check they have enough water, & top up every couple of days, particularly in hot or dry weather.
