Unpack right away
Your roses travel thirsty. Open the box as soon as it arrives, remove the packaging, and keep the bunches together until you are ready to arrange.

Rose Care Guide
Our roses are cut to order at 10,000 feet and shipped farm-direct, so they arrive in bud form. A few simple steps will help them open fully and stay beautiful for as long as possible.
Care Guide
Keeping your roses beautiful.
02
Trim 1–2 inches
Cut each stem at a 45° angle with a sharp knife or shears. A fresh angled cut reopens the stem so it can drink freely.
03
Hydrate deeply
Place the stems in a clean vase filled with room-temperature water. Let them rehydrate for a few hours before arranging — this is when the blooms wake up.
04
Use flower food
Stir in the included flower food. Change the water and re-trim the stems every two days to keep bacteria from blocking hydration.
05
Strip lower leaves
Remove any foliage that sits below the waterline. Submerged leaves break down quickly and shorten vase life.
06
Place them well
Keep your roses out of direct sunlight, away from heat vents, and away from ripening fruit. Cool rooms keep blooms tight and elegant longer.
A note on blooms in bud
Because we ship straight from the farm, your roses arrive closed. Within 24 to 72 hours of hydration they begin to open — and they will keep opening for days. If a bloom seems slow, re-cut the stem and place it in fresh water.
