Who can resist these blushing pink beauties? Stop by Gatanaga Nursery's booth for a gorgeous selection of roses and other spring flower bouquets. According to Southern Living, this is how to keep your roses fresh longer: " 1. Prepare the Vessel :: It’s important to clean the vase you plan to put your flowers in. Wash the vessel to rid it of any dirt, dust, and grime, to ensure your flowers get the best start possible.... 2. Use Lukewarm Water :: When you fill the vase, don’t use water that’s too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can shock the blooms and shorten their life, so it’s better to use lukewarm or room-temperature water. 3. Use Flower Food :: Often, bouquets come with a packet of flower food that’s designed to keep cut flowers looking fresh. Dissolve the packet in the vase of water before putting the flowers inyour flowers will thank you. 4. Snip the Stems :: Before putting the flowers in a vase with water, snip the ends of the stems. Cutting the ends at an angle will make it easier for the flowers to soak up the water and will keep them looking their best for longer. 5. Change the Water :: Changing the water regularly will help keep your blooms fresh. When you change the water, be sure to remove spent leaves and petals that have fallen. Debris left in the water can rot and shorten the life of your blooms."
