1. Box of roses: Remove the water tubes and place the roses in fresh, clean water. When arranging them in a vase, add the contents of the included packet to the water. If the vase requires trimming the stems, cut them at a diagonal angle. Make sure no leaves are submerged in the water. Ideally, the vase should be half the height of the roses. Remember to leave space between each bloom to prevent them from touching as they open.
2. Floral Arrangement in Oasis Foam: The oasis floral foam supports your roses and gives structure to the arrangement. Moisten the oasis immediately with a bottle or watering can with a long spout every day. Use your fingertips to ensure the oasis is properly hydrated.
3. Floral Arrangement in Water: Ensure your vase is always filled with water. It is ideal for your vase to have one liter of water per dozen roses.
4. Place Your Arrangement: Position your arrangement in a well-lit area, avoiding direct sunlight, and ensure it is kept cool and protected from drafts. If there is air conditioning, it is recommended to place a dish of water underneath the vase. This will enhance the decorative effect. Once the roses reach the end of their cycle, make use of them by trimming the stem just below the flower petals and placing them in a half-filled fishbowl; this is another way to enjoy their full blooming.
