Care of Fresh Cut Flowers - Number 1 Christchurch Florist.

When you receive flowers from Florist Sumner Christchurch in a box or wrapped, you should immediately prepare a clean vase with fresh water.

Fresh cut roses and all flowers enjoy lots of water. The water level should be at least half way up the stem of the flowers. Remove all foliage that will be below the water line. Insert the greens in an intertwining pattern in the vase of fresh water. Cut each flower on an angle exposing as much inner stem as possible. Flower arrangements from the Christchurch florist may then be placed carefully into your vase as per your flower delivery. Fresh flowers can drink at least a quarter of the vase each day. Ideally the water should be changed and filled to the top daily. If this is impractical at least top off the vase with fresh clean water daily.

Fresh well cared for cut roses have a life expectancy from 7 - 14 days. Look at the chart below for the life expectancy of cut flowers. Do not display roses in sunlight, they do not need sun after they have been cut for displaying. Do not display roses on the top of appliances such as a television, microwave or stereo. Appliances generate heat that will shorten the life of your fresh cut roses. Avoid freezing and heat.

5 Tips to Long Lasting Fresh Cut Flowers

Care of Fresh Cut Roses Arranged

If you receive roses professionally arranged by this Christchurch florist in a vase, remove all wrapping, check water level, fill the vase to the top with fresh water. Add enough water daily to bring the water level to the top of the vase. Do not display roses in the sun or on top of appliances. If a rose should wilt prematurely you can try giving it a fresh cut and submerging the entire roses in water for a couple of hours.

If the roses are arranged in floral foam, keep the foam saturated with fresh water and the container filled to the top daily.

Care of Mixed Fresh Arrangements

Arrangements from the Christchurch florist that arrive in floral foam should be filled with fresh water to the top of the container. Arrangements that arrive in a vase should be filled to the top of the vase with fresh water.
