How to Keep Your Rose Bouquet Fresh for Longer

A beautiful bouquet deserves a little everyday care. These simple steps help freshly cut roses and Baby’s Breath remain hydrated, clean and beautifully presented.

1. Use a clean vase

Wash the vase before adding your flowers. A clean container reduces bacteria that can shorten vase life.

2. Trim the stems

Cut one to two centimetres from the stems at a diagonal angle. This creates a larger surface for the flowers to absorb water.

3. Remove leaves below the water

Leaves sitting below the waterline can decay quickly. Remove them while keeping the healthy upper foliage intact.

4. Refresh the water regularly

Change the water every day or every two days. Rinse the vase and trim the stems again whenever the water is replaced.

5. Choose a cool position

Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, strong heat, fans and ripening fruit. A cool indoor position helps flowers stay fresh.

Every Serendib Petals bouquet is prepared after confirmation and carefully secured for delivery. Flower life can vary naturally, but proper care can help your arrangement remain beautiful for at least five days.
