Make Purchase from Trusted Florist/Store

If not cut those roses from your plants, choosing the best and most reputed florist Wantirna is recommended. It would be even better to purchase from someone you know closely. It will help to get the freshly cut roses, not those that have been displayed for almost a week. Also, choose flowers that have been well-stored within the refrigerator. It will allow it to stay fresher than the ones at room temperature.


Soaking Roses in Water

Removing the rose stems from the water, even just for a few minutes, would be detrimental as it will cause the rose freshness not to last long. So, when you visit the best florist Melbourne to get the daily bunch or the occasional one, take a bucket that’s filled with enough water and ask the florist to place roses in the container. It will help contain the rose to keep it fresh while you are on the way home.


Trimming the Stalks in Water

When air enters, the flower’s condition starts to deteriorate or wither. So, cutting the steps when submerged in water will help the flowers remain fresh as it would prevent air from entering the stem's bottom.


Leaves Free Stem

Ensure the stalk that would remain immersed in water is free of leaves as the leaves submerged in water start to rot, and this causes a bacterial build-up in the vase, hence causing flowers to wither fast. So, follow the suggestions of the best florist Melbourne and cut away the leaves from the stalk section that is to be soaked in water.


Cuts Every Few Days

To trim rose stalk every few days would help it to suck water effectively as, over the time, submerged ends get mushy and then damaged. Also, ensure the cutting tool used for the daily bunch is clean and cut the section underwater (45 degrees).


Clean Vase- Fresh Water

Even after regular washes, bacteria can still sustain within the vase, and it can cause damage to fresh roses. So, clean the vase using hot soapy water and scrub the insides with the bottle brush. Then give it a thorough rinse.

After all's done and cuts made, roses from florist Wantirna would absorb water better. So, fill the vase with fresh water and allow the roses to absorb it and be fresh. You can even add little bleach to the water.
