How long do long stem roses stay looking fresh?

I am ordering bulk roses to put together for my whole wedding and wedding party. They are being delivered by Costco. I am contemplating when to have them delivered in time for me to figure out how to get them together. My wedding is on Saturday..I'm not a big flower person but I know they need refrigeration (which I have plenty of room for) but exactly how long do they last so they will still look good at my evening wedding?

How long do long stem roses stay looking fresh?
Flowers can last even for a week.. unbelievable???


Here's how to do it. You have refrigeration, right? That's good.


But do this, If you get the roses today,cut an inch on the stem then soak it in a clean water in a pail. Leave it overnight. keep the roses on fridge.


Then, the next day, cut again another inch off teh stem and soak again in clean water. Replace water everyday. Cut an inch everyday untill you need the roses.


This method will keep the flowers fresh looking for long days.
Reply:I would get them as late as possible. Friday morning or evening? That way you can ensure that they are looking nice.
Reply:They only last for about 6 days
Reply:keep them in buckets of water in the fridge and make sure the stems are cut at an angle and your local florist will have some food for fresh cut flowers you can add to the water to extend the life of the flowers.
Reply:If you have them delivered on Thursday, they should be OK. Make sure they have fresh water, and are not in a drafty place.





Just check the temp they need to be kept at. A normal refrigerator would be too cold and would freeze the petals.
