Fresh roses bouquets can last for up to one week if they are outside in Orlando. But the period also depends on a few factors, such as the type of rose and the health of the plant from which it comes. Additionally, the period your rose went without water after getting cut can also affect how long it can last.
However, there are a few ways you can increase the lifespan of your fresh rose bouquet. Here we’ll briefly discuss a few steps you can take to make your roses last longer.
Cut The Stem
Usually, cutting rose stems ensures they absorb water faster and remain hydrated for longer. But how long fresh rose bouquets last depends on how you cut them and the tool used. For example, you should only use clean, sharp garden shears or a knife to cut.
Additionally, ensure the stems are long. That way, you can trim your blooms a few more times and help them last longer, especially if they are outside of Orlando. At Le Bouquet Fleurs, we suggest cutting the stem at least 1-2 inches before placing them in water.
Trim The Leaves
Leaves also influence how long fresh rose bouquets last if they are outside Orlando. Any leaves submerged in the water inside the vase will produce rot bacteria, inevitably shortening the flower’s lifespan.
The only way to prevent this is by trimming off any leaves likely to go below the water level. When delivering rose bouquets outside Orlando, we ensure our blooms have no loose leaves or petals that could fall in the vase and lower their lifespan.
Proper Storage
Rose flower storage starts at the point of purchase. The conditions at the point of sale affect how long fresh rose bouquets last if they are outside Orlando. Your preferred florist should store them in a proper hat boх to prevent them from drying out.
From there, move your bouquet of roses to a cool place away from direct sunlight and air conditioning. Also, open windows and ceiling fans can cause them to wilt faster. We also recommend keeping them away from fruits due to ethylene gas. (1)
