Vase life depends on several factors, such us: rose variety, weather conditions, shipping conditions (if it was shipped on cold transportation), if the cold chain was not broken, if the box was handled with care while being shipped, and if the rose was hydrated and attended as indicated on the “care instructions” sheet.
Here we wanted to share some pictures of day 1, day 2, and 3 of one of our rose variety named Circus (bicolor orange and yellow). Enjoy!

In order to get the maximum vase life as possible you should take good care of your roses once they get delivered to you; here are some tips:
Open the box immediately, cut the stems approximately one inch, prepare buckets with cool and fresh water, dissolve the flower food powder, put all bunches of roses (25 roses in each bunch) inside the buckets with cool water; wait approximately one to two hours.
Once the roses are hydrated, remove the cardboard that comes along the rose buds, and arrange the flowers using a clean vase with fresh and clean water, remove all the leaves that are below the water level (this will help to reduce the build up of bacteria). Leaves left underwater will rot and bacteria will build up, shortening the life of the roses.
Keep your roses away from sunlight or other heat sources; the cooler the temperature, the slower the roses will open.
You should replace the water once every two days; you could cut the stems again approximately one inch.
By following these steps very carefully you will obtain the maximum vase life possible!
