The opportunities to receive roses from your sweetheart are endless .
But greenhouse roses do not hold up well.
Follow Jardimaline so that your bouquet of roses will keep longer!
Does your loved one give you bouquets very often? Optimize their vase life already! Here are some essential gestures:
- Clean and bleach the vase, filter the water (even the rain) and let it cool (a drop of white vinegar to remove any limestone that clogs the sap-conducting vessels).
- Remove all packaging, foliage and thorns from the bottom of all stems.
- Cut under lukewarm running water each stem 2 cm above an eye . Bevel cut with a clean, sharp, toothless knife or a grafting tool (bleached beforehand). Above all, do not crush the bottom of the stems!
- Pour the water to 2/3 of the vase , add a piece of charcoal and 2-3 drops of bleach, arrange your bouquet.
Now that you've put your bouquet in a vase, a few extra precautions will extend the life of these beauties!
- Always place the vase out of drafts and sources of heat and very far from fruits and vegetables!
- Move your bouquet to a cooler room every evening (2-3°C less). Pay attention to the season and the exposure of the pieces. In an apartment, place the bouquet on the floor, away from radiators, in the coolest corner (except underfloor heating).
- Every evening reserve filtered water at room temperature.
- Change the water every day .
- Clean and trim the stems 2 cm.
- Avoid sugar and various preservation solutions:they accelerate putrefaction by the rapid proliferation of bacteria (that's the cloudiness of the water and the smell of sewage that emanates from vases with non-renewed water).
- Garden roses will last longer in the vase if they are picked after the dew has evaporated and before the hot weather.
And There you go ! You are going to become the true fairy of long-fresh rose bouquets! Of course, I await your comments and those of your friends or spouses, who will be blown away by such a floral enchantment in your interior.
