Product details

This red rose bouquet of cultivated Rosa hybrids features numerous deep red, densely petalled cut roses. Spiralled petals and a compact, nearly spherical arrangement create its classic appearance.

Fine white baby’s breath adds a light border around the flowers. A generous pale mesh sleeve surrounds the bouquet and helps protect the blooms during transport. Without a label or provenance record, the exact rose cultivar cannot be identified responsibly.

For a longer vase life, recut the stems, remove every leaf that would sit below the waterline and use a thoroughly cleaned, stable vase. Check the water level and clarity each day. Direct sun, radiators, draughts and ripening fruit will cause the flowers to fade more quickly.

Polisi plant knowledge

Care guide

The essentials first, followed by clear, practical details for every care topic.

Botanical nameRosa spp. (cultivated hybrids); the cultivar cannot be confirmed from the visible flowers

Watering

Fill a clean, stable vase halfway to two-thirds with fresh water; depending on the vase, this large bouquet will typically require about 3–8 litres. Check the level daily and top up as needed, or twice daily in summer and warm rooms; replace all the water every two days. A finger test is not useful for cut flowers, so assess moisture by checking the water level, clarity and whether every stem end remains submerged. Keep foliage above the waterline and avoid stale or cloudy standing water.

Light

Place in bright or partially shaded light without direct midday sun. Strong sunlight heats the water and flowers, accelerating moisture loss and wilting.

Best location

Display indoors in a cool position away from draughts, radiators, air-conditioning outlets and ripening fruit. Choose a wide, level surface because the pictured bouquet is large and top-heavy.

Temperature

A temperature of around 15–20 °C is ideal. The bouquet may be kept cooler overnight but must remain frost-free; temperatures above 22 °C usually shorten vase life considerably.

Foundation

Soil & nutrition

Humidity

Normal indoor humidity of roughly 40–60% is suitable. Do not mist the flowers routinely, as persistently wet petals can encourage grey mould.

Soil

Do not use soil because these are cut flowers. Place the freshly trimmed stems only in a clean vase containing fresh water and correctly diluted cut-flower food.

Nutrient needs

In the vase, cut roses mainly benefit from the sugar, acidifying agents and hygiene ingredients supplied by commercial cut-flower food. Use it at the packet rate from the first day until disposal, renewing it with each water change; do not add houseplant or garden fertiliser.

Fertilising

Dissolve rose or general cut-flower food in the vase water at the manufacturer’s stated rate, typically one sachet for the specified volume. Prepare a fresh dose at every complete water change throughout the display period and never exceed the labelled concentration.

Planting

Do not plant out the bouquet. Before placing it in water, use a clean, sharp knife or secateurs to remove 2–3 cm from each stem at an angle, then strip away all leaves that would fall below the waterline.

Plant spacing

Use a vase with an opening wide enough to hold the tied stems without crushing them and to allow some airflow around the blooms. Do not crowd the bouquet against other arrangements or heat sources.

Through the year

Flowering & seasonal care

Flowering period

Numerous deep red, densely double rose blooms with spiralled petals form a compact, rounded flower surface. Fine, branching sprays of white baby’s breath are visible around the edge.

Pruning

When first arranging the bouquet, cut the stem ends at an angle; repeat every two days by removing a further 1–2 cm with clean tools. Carefully remove faded guard petals and damaged blooms without bruising healthy flower heads.

Repotting

Repotting does not apply to cut flowers. At every water change, lift out the bouquet, wash the vase with hot water and washing-up liquid, rinse thoroughly, recut the stems and return them to fresh solution.

Overwintering

Keep the bouquet frost-free during winter transport and away from radiators indoors. Check the water level daily, then reassess water clarity, odour and stem-end submersion after 24–48 hours.

Hardiness

A cut-flower bouquet is not winter-hardy and must not be exposed to frost. Protect it from temperatures below approximately 5 °C during transport and display; it cannot be overwintered outdoors.

Plant profile

Growth & origin

Life cycle

The flowers are produced by perennial rose shrubs on stems harvested for a temporary cut-flower display. With good care, the bouquet will typically last about 7–12 days in a vase, depending on initial freshness, temperature and water hygiene.

Mature size

The image shows a very large, nearly spherical hand-tied bouquet with numerous medium to large rose blooms. Exact height, diameter, stem length and flower count cannot be measured reliably without a scale or product label.

Pot / sale size

Recommendation: use no plant pot; choose a heavy, stable vase with a broad base and an opening that accommodates the stem bundle without compression. A tall floor vase or substantial table vase is recommended for the large bouquet shown.

Origin

The flowers come from horticulturally bred Rosa hybrids with complex ancestry. The photograph does not provide evidence for a particular production country or named breeding line.

Propagation

The finished bouquet is not intended for propagation. Individual rose stems may occasionally root, but they do not reliably produce strong garden plants; labelled nursery roses are recommended for cultivation.

Good to know

Healthy & safe

Safety and toxicity

Roses are generally regarded as non-toxic to people, cats and dogs, but florist flowers should not be eaten because they may carry crop-protection or preservative residues. Thorns can cause puncture injuries. The visible baby’s breath may cause digestive upset if swallowed and skin irritation in sensitive people, so keep the bouquet away from children and pets.

Common problems

Drooping flower heads often indicate interrupted water uptake: recut the stems, clean the vase and return them promptly to fresh water. Cloudy or unpleasant-smelling water signals bacterial growth and should be replaced completely. Brown, soft petals may result from bruising, heat or grey mould; remove affected material and keep the flowers dry and well ventilated.

Note: Location, season, pot size and weather can change the plant’s actual care needs.
