Cut flower care instructions

Check vase water level regulary. Add water with flower food as needed. If the water becomes cloudy, change the entire vase water with room temperature preservative water. Substitute foliage that is going to sink under the water level in your vase. Every other day re-cut stems one-half of an inch. This fresh cut guarantees good water flow through the flower stem.

Substitute all leaves and foliage that will be sitting under the water in the vase otherwise they might rot. Leave the red roses packed in bunches and cut about one-half of an inch off of the bottom of the stems and put them in water. When you use the pink roses, trim the stems over again and slowly remove any discolored or loose outer petals.
