Bulk Extra Long Stemmed Roses are shipped directly from our Ecuadorian partner flower farms without water tubes. 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. However do remove any excess packaging including any plastic wrapping in order to prevent condensation which will cause rotting
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. Extra Long Stemmed Roses may take up to 12 hours to properly hydrate. Leave the plastic or cardboard packaging around the blooms for a minimum of 4 hours. This will allow the Roses sufficient time to hydrate properly.
8. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
9. To keep the Extra Long Stemmed Roses fresh, change the water every 24 to 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

We ship our Extra Long Stemmed Roses with guard petals in order to protect the blooms 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 to 10 petals per bloom.

Remember that exposing Extra Long Stemmed Roses to warmer environments (outside, a hot room, etc) will help the flower bloom, and storing your Roses in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process.
