M&M Roses - How to care for your Holy Land Roses when they arrive.

How do I care for one full carton of roses?

IT'S EASY!

If you have ordered a large number of roses, please see the instructions at bulk orders.

Your roses are custom packed for you, and shipped with ice around their stems. They will however, have been out of water for a number of hours. A bubble of air which forms in the cut ends of the stems during transport retards further uptake of water. In order to enable the roses to resume uptake of water you must cut about 1 - 1.5" off the stem to remove this bubble of air. The roses are more than 1" longer than you have ordered so you get the full length you ordered after making a fresh cut.
You will need good, sharp pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut about 1 " off the stems of the flowers. You should be able to cut about 10 stems at a time, so this will only take a few minutes.

You will need one 2.5 gallon bucket for each 120 flowers. We will provide you with a small packet of rose food (called M'shaper 6) for the flowers.  Dissolve the entire packet in 2 cups of warm water. Take 1 Tablespoons of this concentrated solution and mix with 1 quart of fresh water. Use this solution for your flowers.

Immediately after cutting the stems, put the roses in the buckets with the water and rose food immersing the stems in about 2 or 3 inches of water. Keep the roses in a cool place until you want to use them. Doing this will prolong their life. Roses should never be left in direct sunlight or in a very warm place.

After a couple of hours, you may arrange the flowers in any way you wish either by just placing them in a vase or creating an arrangement using floral sponge (Oasis). If using floral sponge be sure to submerge it in water treated with rose food. Check the level of the water in your vases daily, to ensure the longevity of your flowers. We provide you with enough concentrated rose food and preservative to prepare 10 gallons of rose food solution. Change the water after 2 - 3 days, and your roses should last about 1 week.

We ship the flowers in a bud stage. They are beautiful as buds, and will open fully within a few days, showing their beautiful color and shape.
