1. Roses Arrive Semi-Bloomed

Your roses will arrive in a semi-bloomed form, straight from the grower so they can last longer. Please allow time for your roses to open up.

Day 1		Day 4

2. Clean & Fill Vase With Water

Roses like lots of water. Fill your chosen vase half way with clean, room temperature water (this should help them to absorb the water quickly) and add the flower food provided.

3. Remove All Packaging

Unpack your bouquet from the packaging and remove any wrapping. Leave the binding tie on your bouquet, this will help to form a better shape when you add the stems to the vase. Cut 2-3cm off the end of each stem at a 45 degree angle, and carefully place into your vase.

4. Place Your Vase

For your bouquet to stand proudly on show, place your vase away from any heat (e.g. radiators), fruit or direct sunlight.

5. Guard Petals

Your roses will arrive with guard petals, which are the outer petal of the rose. They may look discoloured and crinkled, however these are a natural part of the rose. Once your roses open up, these will tuck away nicely at the back of the rose head and barely be noticeable.

If you do wish to remove the guard petals, gently pull the guard petals upwards and outwards to remove. Ensure you remove only the outer petals, as removing any inner petals will prevent your roses from opening properly.
