Rose Care Tips
How to buy a rose
Buy roses that are:
In the right stage of development
AVOID:
1. old roses -- many loosened petals; little bud left in the center;
2. green roses -- (roses that have been cut too tight) -- no sepals have "fallen"; prone to bent neck; may never open

Conditioned in floral preservative
Care after receiving a rose

Cut 1" (or slightly less) of stem under warm water. OR Cut stems and place immediately in a quick dip hydration solution. These techniques ensure that water not sir will enter the stem.
