Professional Care Instructions
To ensure your Fragrant Cloud Roses release their legendary scent to the fullest:
- The Fresh Cut: Upon arrival, trim 1 inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This opens the “veins” of the rose for maximum hydration.
- Warm Water Start: Use slightly warm (not hot) water initially to help the fragrance molecules “activate” and the bloom to open.
- Humidity Matters: Fragrant roses transpire more quickly. Keep them in a humid environment and away from direct AC or heater vents to prevent the petals from drying.
- Clean Environment: Change the water every 24–48 hours. Fragrant varieties are sensitive to bacteria, which can block the scent release.
- Placement Tip: Place the vase in a smaller room or an entryway to allow the “cloud” of fragrance to concentrate and greet guests as they enter.
