How to care for roses in hot climates
How long do natural roses last?
Natural roses are supposed to last you at least 7 to 10 days from the time of purchase, and the duration also depends on the type of flowers. If the weather is very hot, the quality of life of the roses may be affected, but with good care you can enjoy their beauty for at least a week. One of the most important reasons that greatly affects the quality of roses is your choice of store and location, as quality varies from one place to another, and this is what distinguishes us at Lash Flowers, we offer you natural roses with high quality and distinctive arrangements.

How do I make a bouquet of roses not wilt?
Make sure to put the roses in water as soon as possible, because the stems will start to close themselves to protect themselves if they are out of water for too long. It is best to put the bouquet in water and keep it in a cool place. The best place to put the flowers is a place with cool air away from heat such as the kitchen and fireplace. A place in the middle of the living or dining room is ideal, while places near windows will shorten the life of the flowers due to the temperature changes and the strength of the sunlight throughout the day. Make sure that the roses are away from fruits such as bananas and apples as they release ethylene gas which affects the life of the rose.
How to keep roses in a vase?
Always use clean vases. To ensure the vase is clean, wash it with hot soapy water after each use. If the roses have been out of water for a long time, they may need to be pruned. Cut about 2 cm from the end of each stem and make them at an angle. Fill the vase to two-thirds full and don't forget to remove any broken leaves or stems.
