Cut flower care instructions

Verify the water supply straightaway upon arrival. Fill a bowl or sink with water, fully submerge the stem ends under the water and cut them at a 45 degree angle using a pocket pruner, knife or scissors. Cutting your flower stems at a 45-degree angle is going to guarantee that they have adequate surface area to take in water and that they don't stand flat on the bottom of the vase.

Substitute all foliage and leaves which will be under the water in the vase otherwise they will rot. Leave the red and white roses packed in bunches and cut about half inch off of the bottom of the stems and put them in water. When you arrange the thornless roses, trim the stems once more and slowly remove any loose or discolored petals.
