A Dozen Yellow Roses

[x] Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement

A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:

• Water
• Food
• Temperature

Water

Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.

Food

If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!

Temperature

Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

Summery Yellow

Yellow roses symbolise friendship and happiness, and as the saying goes "Friendship is like a yellow rose; with care and tenderness it will last forever".  This bouquet of 12 yellow rays of sunshine will last longer than other roses, so celebrate the start of something new with wishes for things to last forever.  These roses are truly delightful and will easily convey your message to the hearts of those who receive them.

People love to talk about sending flowers, but don't always get round to actually doing it. So send someone a hint to buy you this arrangement. You can also add a message and your name (if you want). Good luck! Send hint.
