Cutting Roses For Indoors
Helpful Hints For Cut Roses:
* For the flowers to last the longest, it’s best to cut them in the morning. The buds should be just beginning to open at the tips.
* Cut the rose stem just above a five-leaflet leaf (“five”) near the center of the stem, leaving at least two “fives” on the plant.
* Immediately immerse the cut stems in warm water mixed with floral preservative.
* You can place the vase of flowers in the refrigerator for 4 hours to harden them (trick of florists – for longer lasting cut flowers)
* Take roses out of refrigerator and put on display. Enjoy!
