Conditioning Sweet Avalanche
Roses
Sweet Avalanche Roses, with their strong stems and impressive subtle pink flower
heads, are a joy to behold and will brighten every occasion. Please follow these care tips to get the most out of
your Sweet Avalanche Roses:
-
Cut the Sweet Avalanche Rose stems at a 45 degree angle with a sharp knife. (Don't use scissors, as
this will crush the stems & prevent water intake).
-
Remove the lower foliage.
-
Carefully remove the thorns, trying not to scrape or cut through the bark. Investing in a rose stripper
is always a good idea!
-
Fill clean buckets with hot water & sterilising solution.
-
When sterilised, tip out the water & replace with tepid water & flower food.
-
Place the Sweet Avalanche Roses in the bucket - submerged in deep water to just below the flower heads.
-
Leave over night to hydrate - they will be ready to work with in the morning.
-
Do not leave the sweet avalanche roses near a radiator, close to fruit, in direct sunlight or in a
draughty place.
Top Tip!
The outer petals of Sweet Avalanche Roses are called 'guard petals'. These petals are often darker
in colour and thicker than the other petals. For a lovely fresh look, carefully remove them with your finger
tips.
