Flower Tips

Received Roses as a gift? Here's
how to look after them..

Flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses, gerberas, sunflowers and delphiniums should have their stems re-cut, then plunged into boiling water for approx. 30 - 50 seconds. Then place them back into a fresh vase filled with cool water.

This ensures that any air embolisms within the stem are removed. Air embolisims restrict the water flow to the head of the flower and cause the rose to wilt.
