Guard Petals
Our roses are sent in bud so they are the freshest they could be when they arrive. You may find your roses have arrived with slightly darkened exterior petals. These are known as ‘guard petals’ and they are the roses own way or protecting its inner flower before it blooms. Clever, right?
You can remove the rose guard petals without causing any damage to the rose and watch your rose bouquet bloom.
Remove the ‘guard petals’ from the outer bud of the rose and trim each stem about 2-3 cm at an angle, taking off any foliage that will fall below the water line in your vase.
Choose a clean vase to display your beautiful rose bouquet. Fill your vase with tepid tap water, add the flower food and mix it into the water.
Arrange your flowers in the vase and display away from any direct sources of heat. Remember to change the water every couple of days.
