Long Stem Red Roses for Valentine's Day - Require 4 Days Advance Notice

Nothing says Happy Valentine's Day more than beautiful red roses! Our Wholesale Red Valentine's Roses allow you to get premium long stem red roses at a great price.  Our long stem roses are approximately 19 - 20 inches long, and are shipped directly from the farm, making them extremely fresh!!  They are cut and shipped the same day ensuring their quality and freshness.  We are so sure you will love your flowers that we provide you with a 100% guarantee of their quality.  Our roses will arrive in wrapped bunches of 25 roses each.  To ensure the roses arrive in good shape, the farm double stacks the roses in each wrapped bunch, so it may appear at first glance that you only have 12 in each bunch.  Count the stems and you will see each bunch contains 25 premium roses.

Our roses may arrive in bud form and will need a day or two to open up.  To protect the flowers, our Long Stem Roses are shipped with their guard petals still attached.  All roses have several outer petals that surround the rose blooms which may appear bruised, torn or discolored.   THIS IS NORMAL.  Simply remove these few outer petals once you have finished hydrating the roses.  It is not uncommon for each rose bloom to have 5 - 10 guard petals. Roses are a very hardy flower, but they will need to be hydrated once they arrive.   It is perfectly normal for Long Stem Roses to look thirsty or "tired" upon arrival.  They will perk up once they receive a "fresh cut" to their stems and have time to drink up fresh water. All you need to do is remove them from their boxes, keep the paper wrap on, remove the foliage below the paper and cut 1/4 - 1/2" off the bottom of their stems and place them in warm water.  After an hour or so, carefully remove the paper wrapping and allow the roses to continue to open naturally.  Store your roses in a cool room, out of direct sunlight.   For your Long Stem Roses to look their best, we highly recommend you follow our care instructions below.

Roses Cut Flower Care Instructions:

1. 1. Open box and cut strapping to remove flowers.
2. 2. Long Stem Roses will arrive with either plastic or cardboard packaging that hold the flower bunches together.  LEAVE THIS ON FOR AT LEAST 2 - 4 HOURS WHILE INITIALLY HYDRATING YOUR FLOWERS.  After 2 - 4 hours, you may carefully remove this packaging.  Failure to keep the packaging on the roses while initially hydrating may result in the rose heads drooping.  
3. 3. Make sure you remove the packaging after 4 hours.  The flower heads will begin to swell and you don't want the packaging to bruise the buds at this point.
4. 4. Long Stem Roses are shipped in grower's bunches, each bunch containing 25 stems per bunch.
5. 5. To protect roses during shipping, roses are double stacked (1 layer of roses is placed over a 2nd layer).  When you receive your roses, you will only see 12 rose blooms - you will NOT be able to see the additional 13 roses which form the lower layer in the package.  Turn the bundle over, and you will be able to count 25 stems.  An image of how our roses are shipped is on our website.
6. 6. Remove any green foliage that will fall below the water line from the bottom of the stem (foliage that falls below the water level will form bacteria and reduce the life of your flowers).  With roses, or any flower, we recommend you remove as much foliage as possible - foliage absorbs water too - less leaves means more water for the flowers themselves.  Leave only the amount of foliage you wish to use.
7. 7. Roses will arrive in bud form.  Once the roses are hydrated they will bloom to a much larger size. Note: If you wish to have your Roses open faster, place them in very warm (not too hot) water and in a warm (not hot) room.  If you wish to slow down the opening process, place them in a cooler room.
8. 8. Cut at least 1/2 - 1 inch off the bottom of the rose stem and immediately place in water.  
9. 9. Place flowers in fresh, cool water out of direct sunlight, drafts and extreme heat or cold.  Use of Floral food is recommended.  Let Roses hydrate for at least 4 hours before arranging, 12 or more hours is highly recommended.  Ensure roses have plenty of water (check regularly - flowers drink a lot upon arrival) and keep the water clean.
10. 10. If some of your roses are drooping, it is possible an air bubble has formed in the stem preventing it from hydrating.  Recut the stem, and immediately place in water.  Hydrate for at least 4 more hours.
11. 11. Do NOT overcrowd your roses in your container.  Allow sufficient room for your roses to bloom while hydrating.  If the roses are overcrowded while hydrating, it could effect their bloom size.

1. Each Rose stem features 1 blooms per stem (2 - 4 inches, on average)
2. Stem Length approx 19 - 20 inches
