Hey there! Whether you’ve just received your Farmgirl roses are are patiently awaiting their arrival, we have a few tips and tricks to ensure yours live their best #vaselife. First thing’s first! Find the largest vessel you can - a pasta pot, a coffee decanter, or the mixing bowl you bought at Target when you first moved into your apartment. This doesn’t have to be the vase you’ll display your blooming beauties in (although it could be!), you’re just looking for a vessel to rehydrate your roses in. Got something? Good! Now fill it with clean, cool water and sprinkle in the provided packet of flower food.

Chop, chop! Next, find a sharp pair of scissors, kitchen shears, or if you’re a total pro, pruning shears from your garden, and trim the stems of your roses by at least half an inch. Why? A fresh cut helps the stems take a big, fresh drink of water and rehydrate after their overnight road trip to you. Pro Tip: Trim at a 45-degree angle to maximize the surface area through which your roses can hydrate. Waiting game. Now drop your trimmed roses into your water-filled vessel (make sure that at least the bottom 2” of your stems are submerged), set a timer for two hours, and walk away so your blooms get a big drink of water.

Get arranging! Once your roses have hydrated, follow these two easy steps to give your flowers that designed feeling in no time. 1. Select a vase (or vases!) from your private collection and fill ¾ of the way with cool water. Pro tip: If you’re designing one arrangement, choose a vase with a wide opening so that these blooming beauties can open fully. We recommend something with a 3 to 4-in mouth. 2. Remove any foliage that will fall below the vase water line. You can gently pluck off any browned, outer guard petals but they will also disappear once the rose opens - it’s your call! Once prepped, pop your stems in the vase et voila, enjoy!

Patience is the key. Just like a fine wine, a little time is the ticket to a beautiful all rose arrangement - and of course the aforementioned care tips. So once you’ve re-homed your buds to a vase (or vases), give them a day or two to fully open up. Stop And Smell The Roses
