Roses can express your innermost thoughts and feelings, whether it is love, respect or admiration. But if you send roses in the month of February for Valentine's Day, it can only mean one thing: love! With respect and admiration.

Take care of the roses

• Do not remove the packaging immediately, give your bouquet a few minutes to adjust to the temperature of the room.

• Pour as hot water as possible from the tap into a clean vase.
• Leave the baste with which the bouquet is tied, so that the bouquet keeps its beautiful shape.
• Remove any leaves that come below the water line, as these promote bacterial growth in the water.
• Flower nutrition is also good if you want to extend shelf life.
• The stems were cut diagonally when the bouquet was tied, so you don't need to do anything unless the stem has dried out.
• Check and adjust the water level in the vase every day or every other day.
• If you have the opportunity, you can place the bouquet in a cool but frost-free place at night.
