Roses
The fertile plateaus high in the mountains of Ecuador and Colombia produce Enchanted
Flowers' gorgeous roses. The constant mild temperature slows the plant’s
growth producing large blossoms and long elegant stems. Enchated Flowers’
research on varieties allows us to consistently purchase beautiful, radiant roses
that last.
When roses are shipped to Toronto, they need to be treated and need to drink water
for 8-12 hours to perk up. When shipped to your door with proper care, your roses
will bloom over the next few days.
1) Remove the outside guard petals. These rugged outer petals were left on
to protect your roses during shipment. They are usually darker in color with
red roses, and have vains different color from color of the petal with color
roses
2) Cut 1 inch off the stems and remove leaves that fall below the water level.
3) Fill vase with water and add 1 packet of flower food. If you run out of
flower food refer to "Care for Flowers" page for alternative solutions
4) Re-cut stems, change water and add second packet of flower food on day 3.
If you run out of flower food, you can add 2-3 drops of chlorine or 5 drops
of lemon juice.
5) For the longest life, keep your roses away from direct sunlight, heat and
drafts.
6) Do not keep your flowers next to fruits and vegetables. Ethylene shortens
flower life.
Why did my red roses wilt so fast?
While it may have been caused by excessive warm or dry storage conditions, you
can pretty much blame wilted roses on air bubbles and bacteria. To prevent air
bubble blocks, make a new stem-end cut while holding it in water. A small droplet
of water will cling to the stem end as you transfer the rose to the vase. This
prevents the bubble from re-forming. As to how bacteria causes flowers to wilt,
read on.
