Care Instructions

Red Roses: How to Keep Them Fresh

Your fresh-cut roses can look beautiful for longer with a little TLC! Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your dozen red roses:

  1. Use a Clean Vase. Give your favourite vase a good scrub with soap and water before you use it to remove pesky bacteria or residue.
  2. Fill with Warm Water. Aim for room temperature, like a cozy bath for your roses.
  3. Trim Stems. Chop off about an inch from the bottom, and remember, the angle is everything! A 45-degree cut makes your stems thirsty for water. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears so you don’t squish the stems.
  4. Pluck Low Leaves. See any leaves below the water? Pluck ’em off. Leaves underwater are party spots for bacteria.
  5. Remove Fading Flowers. If any roses start to look sad and droopy, it’s time to say goodbye. Removing them keeps the rest of the bunch happy and healthy.

Repeat These Steps Every 2 to 3 Days. Fresh water, a clean vase, and a quick trim – it’s like a mini spa day to keep your roses looking fresh and beautiful for longer!

The Symbolism and Meaning Behind Red Roses

Ever wonder why roses are everywhere, from classic paintings to expensive perfumes? It’s because roses are more than just a feast for the eyes – they’ve coloured our world for thousands of years, symbolizing love, passion, and even a pinch of secrecy (shh!) Let’s look at some of the symbolism and meanings behind red roses that still stands to this day:

  • Love and Romance. With roots tracing back to ancient times, red roses are the most timeless way to say, “I love you.”
  • Beauty and Perfection. In its striking elegance, the red rose symbolizes beauty and perfection.
  • Courage and Respect. Red roses aren’t only about love, but also courage, respect, and admiration.
  • Mystery and Intrigue. Sometimes, love has layers and an air of mystery. Red roses have long been seen to hint at hidden depths or passion (spicy!)
  • Celebration and Congratulations. Graduations, promotions, anniversaries, you name it – in life’s happiest moments, red roses are there to celebrate.

What Does the Number of Roses Given Mean?

Ever wonder why a dozen roses feels so right? Twelve roses isn’t just a random number – it has been a symbol of complete and perfect love for ages.

One dozen red roses symbolizes a perfect, complete bond. It’s a full circle, a complete story. Buying a dozen red roses is like saying, “You’re my everything” twelve times over. It’s no wonder this bouquet is the perfect pick for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or just because!

  • Balloons: A balloon adds a festive touch and turns the gift into a mini-celebration.
  • Teddy Bears: Teddy bears are there to give you a hug whenever you need it! It's a thoughtful choice if you can't be there to give them a hug in person.
