How To Make
Your Valentine's
Day Roses
LAST LONGER
Valentine's Day spending shows little
With proper care, cut roses may be
able to last seven to 10 days , says
Southern Living magazine.
sign of waning. Floral arrangements are
among the most popular purchases on
this special day. According to Rio Roses, customers
spent $2.3 billion on flowers for Valentine's
Day in 2022. Valentine's Day tends to be the busiest
day for florists as plenty of people want to surprise
sweethearts with bouquets and other floral
arrangements. Red roses account for 70 percent
of all Valentine's Day flower purchases.
Early in 2023, Finance
Buzz researched the average
cost of a dozen roses
in each state so shoppers
could expect what they
would pay to gift their
loved ones, and the average
price for a dozen
roses in the United States
was $80.16 at that time.
Pennsylvania had the
most affordable roses and Hawaii the most expensive.
Roses can be costly, and recipients may
want to do their bests to ensure the fl owers last as
long as possible.
• Unwrap the bouquet from any plastic as soon as
possible to let the fl owers breathe. Also, recut the
stems with sharp scissors at a 45-degree angle.
• Remove any leaves from the stems that would
end up sitting in the water when the roses are
placed in a vase.
• Wash the vessel to rid it of dirt, dust and any
grime to give the roses the best start possible.
• Use lukewarm water to fi ll the vase. Water that
is too hot or too cold may shock the blooms and
shorten their life span. Fill the vase to three-quarters
full.
• Use the fl ower food that comes with the roses.
It is a good mix of nutrients to help prolong the
life of the roses. A teaspoon of sugar dissolved
in water also can be used in a pinch if the roses
didn't come with fl ower food.
• Change the water every few days, especially if
it is cloudy. This is a good time to re-snip the
stems and add more fl ower food to the lukewarm
water.
• Keep any cut fl owers away from direct sunlight,
drafts and radiators or heating vents.
