It is believed that roses presented with love last longer. But donors should not be blamed for the fact that the flowers sullenly hung the buds the very next day. The reason most likely lies in the wrong conditions. There are several rules that will keep roses in a vase longer.
Choosing the right roses
For roses in the vase to stand longer, you need to correctly approach the choice of flowers. The buds should be strong, not open. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the tips of the petals, which should be juicy.
Roses love water
To preserve the roses longer, immediately after purchase they need to be cut with a sharp knife along an oblique line under cold water. This is best done under running water or in a full bath.
The penetration of water can be increased by splitting the stem into 2-3 parts with a knife or kitchen scissors.
Daily care
Before putting roses in water, you must thoroughly rinse the vase. It is better to use disinfectants. Water for roses should be cold and clean. Do not regret mineral water for the vase, which will allow the bouquet to stand much longer.
In order for the roses to stand longer, the water in the vase needs to be changed every day, cutting the cut by 0.5-1 cm. The contrasting water bath will significantly extend the life of the flowers. At night, the bouquet must be lowered into a bathtub filled with cold water, and returned to the vase again in the morning. So you can save roses up to 7 days.
