Rose

Rose Common names: tea rose, sweetheart rose, spray rose

Description: With almost 120 varieties available, roses are a classic favorite.  Roses span the color spectrum with varieties available in all shades of reds, pinks, purples, oranges, corals, peaches and whites. Tea roses open 3 to 4 inches. Stems can be 12 — 30 inches.  Spray roses  can have several flowers on one stem.  Depending on the variety, roses typically last 4 — 7 days. 

Special care:  Remove foliage that falls below the water line to reduce bacteria, which can cloud water and clog stems.  Recut stems under water every two to three days.
