Bulk Roses are shipped directly from our Ecuadorian or Colombian Farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully. 

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps. Do not remove the cardboard sleeve or the rubber bands holding the flowers together in a bunch. 
2. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
3. Add floral food to prevent bacteria from forming in the water and to give added nutrients to the roses. If you do not have flower food, it can be purchased at any local florist. 
4. Remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Not removing the leaves may cause bacteria to form and shorten the rose’s life. 
5. Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut the stems diagonally under running water approximately one inch from each stem’s bottom edge. 
6. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water. 
7. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. Roses may take up to 12 hours to properly hydrate. 
8. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
9. To keep the roses fresh, change the water every 24 to 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy. Leave the plastic or cardboard packaging on around the heads of the roses for a minimum of 4 hours. This will allow the roses sufficient time to hydrate properly. 

We ship our roses with guard petals in order to protect the rose during shipping. Upon removal of the protective packaging, remove any brown or discolored guard petals. It is not uncommon to remove an average of 5-10 petals per rose. 

Remember that exposing roses to heat will help the flower to bloom, and storing your roses in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

For your Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you arrange to have your Roses delivered 2 to 3 days before the actual event. For a Saturday wedding your Roses should be delivered on the Wednesday or Thursday before the wedding.
