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.
