Keep in mind that those $19.99 roses from the store might already be two weeks old by the time you bring them home. If the petals start falling or the heads droop soon after purchase, it’s likely due to the flowers’ age—not anything you did wrong. You can try giving the stems a fresh angle cut under warm water to help revive them.
Don’t let one bad experience turn you away from roses or other flowers! Look for a florist—like me—who is committed to sourcing the freshest blooms every time. I’ve even had some flowers last an entire month!
