Rose is a beautiful and fragile flower with a delicate aroma. However, some women do not like roses due to the fact that these flowers wither very quickly and lose their attractiveness. However, with proper care, fresh roses can stand in the vase for at least 7-10 days.
Roses placed in a vase wither pretty quickly. Sometimes they lose their beauty in two to three days, even if you change the water in a vase. There can be many reasons for this. Firstly, improper care, poor tap water, etc. Secondly, flowers can be stale. As you know, the largest supplier of flowers to Russia is Holland. Therefore, it is not surprising that the flowers after long transport are stunted and lethargic. Roses, which are brought to us from Holland, sometimes go on sale only a month after the cut.
How to care for roses
If you want a gift bouquet of roses to please you for at least a week, then you will have to look after it daily.
Seven rules, due to which the flowers in the vase will not fade for one to two weeks:
1. Before placing roses in a vase, cut off the lower leaves. If the leaves are constantly in contact with water, then bacteria appear in the water.
2. Stems must be cut at an angle. Then the cut surface will be larger, which means that the flowers will absorb more water. Trimming stems is better under running water.
3. The water should be clean. Chlorinated tap water very quickly destroys delicate flowers such as roses. It is better to use filtered water.
4. To prevent bacteria from appearing in water, it is recommended to dissolve an aspirin tablet in it. Acid inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
5. Flowers need nutrients. Add 20 grams of sugar to the water.
6. Change the water in the vase every day.
7. A vase of flowers should be placed in a cool place (optimal air temperature +18
.+22 ° C). Direct sunlight is not useful for roses. Also roses wither from drafts.
