How to keep your roses fresh ? 🌹

To keep roses fresh longer 🌹, follow these proven tips:

1) Trim the stems properly
 • Cut 1–2 cm off the stems at a 45° angle.
 • Do it under running water (or in water) to prevent air bubbles blocking water absorption.
 • Re-cut every 2–3 days.

2) Use clean water + vase
 • Wash the vase to remove bacteria.
 • Change the water daily or every 2 days.
 • Use room-temperature water (not hot).

3) Add flower food (or DIY solution)

If you don’t have flower food, try:
 • ✅ Sugar (1 tsp) → nourishment
 • ✅ Vinegar or lemon juice (1 tsp) → kills bacteria
 • ✅ Bleach (1–2 drops) → prevents bacteria
⚠️ Don’t mix too much—small amounts only.

4) Remove leaves below water
 • Leaves in water rot and create bacteria.
 • Keep only the leaves above the water line.

5) Keep roses in the right place

Avoid:
 • Direct sunlight ☀️
 • Heat sources (TV, heater)
 • Fruits (they release ethylene gas 🍌🍎)
Best place:
 • Cool room with indirect light.

6) Spray petals lightly
 • Mist petals with clean water once a day (optional).

7) Night trick (extra tip)
 • Put roses in a cool place or fridge overnight (not freezer).
 • This can extend freshness by 2–4 days.
