A Dozen Red Roses

[x] Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement

A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:

• Water
• Food
• Temperature

Water

Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.

Food

If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!

Temperature

Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

Romance Is In The Air

Roses have symbolised romance ever since Aphrodite pricked herself on a thorn and the first red rose sprang from the drop of her blood on the ground.  Few are surprised that these stunning flowers have been able to touch so many hearts.  The softness of the petal and the beauty of the form eye ignite many a passion and new desire.  The sensation is unforgettable.  This luxury bouquet of FFP accredited red roses can't fail to evoke passion in even the hardest heart.

People love to talk about sending flowers, but don't always get round to actually doing it. So send someone a hint to buy you this arrangement. You can also add a message and your name (if you want). Good luck! Send hint.
