All roses symbolize love, but certain colors of roses can take on special meanings. Opinions vary on the many meanings of roses, but here are some of the more common:

Pour cool water and flower food into a clean vase. 2. Unwrap the flowers and place the stems in a sink or bowl of water. Carefully cut half inch off the end of each stem with a sharp knife or scissors. Remove any leaves that may fall below the water line. Foliage will discolor water and promote disease. 3. For best results, re-cut the stems, change the vase water, and add flower food every three to four days. Keeping the flowers out of direct sunlight or drafts will help extend their life as well. These simple flower care steps will also be included in the gift box, sent to your recipient. Additional Flower Tips: When cutting the flowers, try not to "saw" the flowers, making a clean cut of the stem instead. Do not display flowers on top of appliances that give off heat, (i.e. televisions, stereos.) Cut the stems at a slight angle, as this will give more surface area to absorb water. Do not cut the flowers with a dull blade. Using a dull knife or scissors will crush the vessels in the stem which allow the flower to drink. If the flower can't take in water, it will die quickly. A clean vase should be used for all flowers. Wash and rinse all vases before use to get rid of bacteria and residue that can harm flowers. Do not store flowers near fresh fruit. Fruit emits ethylene gas, which is harmful to flowers and kills them prematurely. All flowers should be cut underwater. Cutting flowers underwater prevents air from entering the stem after it is cut. If air gets into the stem, it can cause a blockage in the stem and prevent the flower from drinking. If you receive roses in your bouquet, you can pluck off a few of the outer petals if they are discolored. These are called "guard" petals and help protect the flower during shipping. If you receive lilies in your bouquet, be careful of the stamens inside the flower because they can stain fabric. The stamens are the long yellow part of the flowers. If a piece of fabric does get stained, use clear tape to pick the stain up off the fabric. Don't rub the stain. Old tricks of the trade, such as putting an aspirin, a penny, or sugar in the vase water serve the same purpose as flower food. They give the flower nutrients and kill harmful bacteria as well. Don't be afraid to handle the flowers. You don't have to be too gentle with them as they have traveled a long way and can take some abuse. Don't be afraid to redesign your bouquet.
How to care for your bouquet of flowersMost bouquets last four to seven days, but you can do a few things to extend their freshness and scent · When you get the flowers, trim their stems as soon as possible. (If you're gathering the bouquet from your garden, its best to cut flowers early in the morning.) Fill your sink with clean, tepid water, place the stems beneath the water and cut an inch or so off the ends with a sharp knife or scissors. (Doing the surgery underwater prevents the stems from developing air bubbles that may block the flow of water.) If the stems are thick, scrape a little bark from the base to help them absorb water. ·Strip all leaves from the stems that will be underwater in the vase. Otherwise they decompose and create bacteria that shorten the life of your blooms. Arrange flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh tepid water, adding any floral preservative that may have been included with the bouquet. Change the water in the vase every one to two days — more often if it becomes cloudy. (Clean the vase too.) This is also a good time to trim another inch or two from the stems and to remove any blossoms that have seen better days. · Always keep flowers in a cool place, especially at night, and away from direct sunlight, air conditioners, heaters, televisions and other sources of heat.
