How to Make Your V-Day Roses Last Longer!

When it comes to expressing love, there's no true substitute for roses. If you're lucky enough to receive roses this Valentine's Day, check out these tips from Passion Roses Expert Deborah De La Flor for maximizing the memory by keeping them fresh longer!

1. For one single rose, a tiny vase is perfect. The small water reservoir will keep the rose stem hydrated and looking great.
2. Just like you, roses need to constantly drink clean water. Rose stems have capillaries that allow water to be drawn up to the bloom. The bloom will droop when these capillaries become blocked. Change the water in the vase every two to three days and extend the life of the rose by keeping bacteria away from those capillaries. Also, always use the packet of floral food you get with your purchase because it is specially formulated to control bacteria and also includes a little food for the bloom.
3. Make sure you re-cut the stems each time you change the water to allow the roses to start drinking the water.
