How to keep roses alive?

With a few tips from our grower you ensure that the roses remain as long as possible, for example by preparing the vase well.

It is important to thoroughly clean the vase with a little chlorine. Preferably use a glass and clean vase, so that the flowers are displayed well. In any case, add the flower diet by dissolving it in a little lukewarm water. You can fill the rest of the vase with cold water, because the roses will do best in those temperatures.

Tip: heard about preserving flowers with vinegar? Just like the best way to keep roses alive, it is important to handle them well.
