Arranging Pastel Roses: Celebrated as the “flower of love” roses are among the most popular flowers in the world. Fresh roses make a perfect floral gift for a loved one, no matter what the occasion. When arranging pastel colored roses make sure you remove the outer “guard petal”, on each rose, left on to protect your fresh roses during shipping. This will ensure that your roses will bloom to their maximum. Arranging pastel roses if done right will maximize the vase life of your roses and will make a beautiful addition to any room.

Pastel Rose Bouquet Care Tips: Your rose bouquet has an average vase life of 5-8 days. If properly taken care of your roses may last longer. On receiving your pastel rose bouquet remove the foliage that falls below the water line and the outer guard petals and cut the stems 1 inch diagonally under running water. Next fill the vase with lukewarm water and add first packet of floral food, then place your pastel roses in the vase. Roses drink heavily, so make sure you check the water level daily and replace with fresh water, adding more flower food if necessary. This will increase the vase life of your pastel colored rose bouquet by 30 to 50%.
