Here are some tips on caring for fresh roses from the experts at Roses Inc., the na- tional trade association of Ameri- can rose growers. *As soon as you get them home, carefully cut the stems under water about an inch or so above the end. The fresh cut should be on a long gradual •lant. Holding the stem end under water while making the cut eliminates any drying that might otherwise occur in preparing the rose for arranging. *Immediately place the newly cut stems in clear, clean, barely warm water. For even longer life, you should use a floral preservative in the water. Ask your professional florist for a packet of preservative when ordering your rose•. • Change the water each day and keep the roses away from excessive heat or cold. Remember, the best assurance that the rose you buy is fresh and healthy is the reputation and expe- rience your local professional retail florist can give you when you pur- chase your holiday gift of roses. • While shop- ping, wear com- fortable shoes with thick, flex- ible soles.
