care tips
The secret to making your roses last longer is to condition them as soon as you receive them. Trim the stems down to 2-3cm, prune some leaves, remove the guard petals from your rose. Renew the water every two days and prepare a homemade preservative of:
- 300ml of not too cold tap water
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon natural lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of bleach (no perfumes)
- 1/4 aspirin.
Also keep away from fresh fruit! Fruit releases certain natural gasses that make flowers fade fast.
