Flower care guide
The flower everyone knows, and still the one that does the most work. We buy roses in small quantities several times a week rather than in bulk, because a rose that has sat in a cooler for a fortnight opens tired and drops early.
Recut about an inch off each stem at a sharp angle before the roses go in the vase, and do it under running water if you can. A flat cut sits on the bottom of the vase and seals itself shut.
Strip every leaf that would sit below the waterline. Leaves left underwater rot within a day and foul the water, and dirty water is the single most common reason roses fail early.
Change the water completely every two days and recut the stems each time. Keep the vase out of direct sun and away from radiators, and move it somewhere cool overnight if you can.
If a head droops at the neck, it is an air lock rather than old age. Recut the stem and stand it in a few inches of warm water for half an hour; most roses lift their heads again.
The outer petals may look bruised or papery. Those are guard petals, grown to protect the bloom in transit. Peel them off gently and the rose underneath opens clean.
Rose colour carries meaning: red for love, white for new beginnings, yellow for friendship, and peach for gratitude.
