To extend the life of fresh roses, prevent leaves from sitting in the water and remove any tired or damaged petals.
Here's a breakdown of these simple tips:
- Remove Submerged Leaves: Make sure no leaves are submerged in the water. Submerged leaves will decompose and contaminate the water, promoting bacterial growth that shortens the roses' lifespan.
- Remove Tired Petals: Pluck off any petals that appear wilted or damaged. This allows the rose to focus its energy on maintaining the healthy blooms and prevents the spread of decay.
