I wanted to share with you an easy technique for getting a longer life out of your roses that you receive in a market wrap of flowers, bouquets of flowers or arrangement of flowers.  A common issue with roses is rotting petals and this can occur from the inner petal to the outside petals. Gently pull the petal off insuring the whole petal is removed - sometimes it tears off half way so be sure to pull the whole petal away to prevent further petals from rotting off.

Its so easy and fun too!  You will soon see how much longer you can get out of your roses by removing the bruised, browning petals.
