Rose Tiara is a captivating fresh-cut rose celebrated for its unique color palette and elegant charm, perfect for elevating any floral arrangement or interior space. Here’s what makes it stand out:
-
Appearance: Features a striking blend of deep lavender-purple center petals surrounded by minty green outer guard petals, creating a gradient effect that mimics a blooming garden rose . The fully double blooms measure 3.5–4 inches (8.9–10 cm) in diameter and unfold gradually, maintaining their shape for up to 12 days with proper care .
-
Fragrance: Emits a light, sweet floral scent that adds a subtle yet refreshing aroma to rooms, making it ideal for those who prefer delicate fragrances over overpowering ones .
-
Durability: As a Dutch garden rose variety, Tiara boasts exceptional vase life. High-quality stems can stay fresh for 10–14 days when hydrated and maintained correctly, even in dry climates like Dubai .
-
Versatility: Its soft lavender and green hues pair seamlessly with neutral tones, eucalyptus foliage, or metallic accents, making it a popular choice for weddings, anniversaries, and everyday decor .
Follow these steps to maximize the beauty and longevity of Rose Tiara:
-
Unboxing: Gently remove the protective cardboard sleeve and netting while keeping the guard petals intact (they shield the inner blooms) .
-
Deep-Water Soak:
- Trim 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) off the stem at a 45° angle using sharp floral shears.
- Submerge the entire stem (except the flower head) in cool water (10–20°C) for 4–6 hours to rehydrate. Use filtered water or tap water left standing overnight to reduce chlorine exposure .
-
Remove Foliage: Strip all leaves below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth. Leave 1–2 top leaves for photosynthesis .
-
Vase & Water:
- Choose a clean glass or ceramic vase. Disinfect it with a 1:10 bleach solution if reused .
- Fill the vase with room-temperature water (18–22°C) and add a professional floral preservative (e.g., Chrysal, Floralife) as directed. If preservative is unavailable, mix 1 tsp sugar + 2 drops bleach per liter of water .
-
Stem Trimming: Every 2–3 days, trim 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) off the stem and replace the water to keep the absorption channels clear .
-
Environment:
- Place the vase in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioning vents. Avoid proximity to fruits (e.g., apples, bananas) that release ethylene gas, which accelerates wilting .
- Maintain a humidity level of 60–70%. In dry climates like Dubai, mist the air around the flowers daily (avoid spraying petals directly) or place a humidifier nearby .
-
Wilting Blooms: If petals droop, recut the stems and submerge them in 40°C warm water for 1 hour to revive .
-
Bacterial Growth: Cloudy water or slimy stems indicate bacteria. Replace the water immediately, clean the vase, and trim the stem further .
-
Petal Discoloration: Gently remove any brown or wilted guard petals to maintain aesthetics. Avoid touching the inner petals to prevent damage .
-
Cold Storage: For overnight storage, place the vase in a refrigerator (2–5°C) to slow aging. Avoid storing near produce .
-
Floral Food: Use a hydration solution like “Quick Dip” during pre-treatment to reduce stem blockage and enhance water uptake .
-
Avoid Overcrowding: Space roses 2–3 inches apart in the vase to ensure adequate air circulation .
With proper care, Rose Tiara will grace your space with its unique color harmony and delicate fragrance, bringing a touch of garden elegance indoors. 🌸
