Care & Handling Rose Bouquets
For the best results with our luxury David Austin® rose bouquets, please follow the simple instructions below.
1
Receiving Your Roses
Open your box immediately upon receipt. If you sent our garden roses as a gift, please notify your loved one that they have received a perishable gift.
2
Unwrapping Your Roses
Remove the outer packaging and the floral hydration sponge wrapped around the end of your roses' stems. This sponge was wet at the time of shipment and has kept your roses hydrated during their journey.
3
Processing Your Roses
Process your garden roses by cutting the stems 1” at an angle with garden shears or sharp kitchen scissors. Remove any foliage that will fall below the water line of your vase. Immediately place garden roses in cold water with the flower food provided.
4
Caring For Your Roses
Please change the water in your vase everyday and keep your roses out of direct sunlight for the longest vase life. You can recut your garden roses to help them take up water. This will extend their vase life!
