Cut flower care instructions
Replace all foliage and leaves which will be under the water in the vase so they will not rot. Leave the red and white roses packed in bunches and trim about one-half of an inch off of the bottom of the stems and afterwards put them in water. When you arrange the white roses, cut the stems one more time and gently remove any loose or discolored outer petals.
Ensure the water supply straightaway upon arrival. Fill a sink or bowl with water, completely plunge the stems under the water and cut them at a 45° angle using a scissors, pruner or knife. Cutting your flower stem ends at a 45-degree angle is going to make sure that they have sufficient surface area to take in water and that they don't sit straight on the bottom of the vase.
