Roses in a vase at home: photos of white, red, orange flowers in a tall glass vessel with three buds, how to put it beautifully on the table, is it important to cut it correctly?

Amazingly flowering rose bushes captivate the eye on the streets of cities, in parks and squares. But still I want to have fragrant flowers at home.

After all, roses are a traditional gift for women dear to the heart in honor of any holiday.

However, it is important to choose the right roses for the bouquet, as well as familiarize yourself with the nuances that will preserve the freshness of flowers for two or three weeks.

How to choose beautiful flowers?

When choosing flowers should be guided by the preferences of the person for whom they are intended. Flowers have hidden messages.

Among the ancient Greeks, the rose had a special meaning. The round shape of the bud and the folded leaves signified infinity. And when the petals showered - it spoke of the short-lived beauty and transience of life.

Color matching

Some signs from antiquity have survived to this day. So, for example, each color symbolizes the following:

red - passion, love, desire;
white - innocence;
burgundy - an ardent feeling of love;
pink - beginning of relationship, youth;
peach - humility, modesty;
Orange - strong feelings;
yellow - a wish for happiness and goodness, friendship;
green - generosity, fertility;
blue - mystery, mystery.

When choosing a composition, it is worth noting that pastel colors are perfectly combined together: cream, peach, white, beige. Looks good with neutral white bright red or orange roses. Catchy colors are not advised to mix. Better to make a single-assorted bouquet. The only exception is burgundy with yellow - a harmonious combination.

Description and photo varieties

Almost any variety of roses, with the exception of weaving or growing on last year's shoots, is suitable for cutting into a vase. Hybrid tea roses look especially impressive. They have smooth, long stems from 70-160 cm and rather large inflorescences up to 15 cm in diameter. However, in addition to the length of the peduncle and the size of the bud, taste preferences and the combination of colors in the bouquet are important. Look at the photo, how three or more flowers of white, pink, red, orange colors will look beautiful on the table, if they are placed in a tall glass or ceramic vase.

Appearance

When buying roses in flower shops, the first thing you need to pay attention to is inflorescences. Of course, fully opened flowers that produce an incredible aroma look beautiful. But these roses will not stand in the vase for long. It is best to collect a bouquet of half-blossomed flowers and buds. Such a connection will last more than one day. Sometimes a blossoming rose miraculously turns into a bud, sellers cut off the lower petals.

You should definitely pay attention to the sepals.. In fresh flowers, they are green and fit snugly to the bud. Leaves, stem should be dense and elastic, without visible damage. If the foliage is sluggish, then the flower is not worth taking.

Before buying, it will not hurt to inspect roses for harmful insects (aphids, ants) or diseases. By negligence, you can bring uninvited guests into the house, which subsequently will bring many problems. White plaque on the leaves is a symptom of the disease. In the end, it is worth exploring the places of cuts. If the flower has been in water for a long time, then the lower part is slightly rotten, which indicates not the first freshness of the plant.

Preparing a bouquet to put it in flowerpots at home

When buying a bouquet in winter, you can’t immediately bring roses into the heat. Must go through a period of acclimatization. It is better to leave them for a couple of hours in a cool room, on the balcony, porch.
Then carefully remove the packaging without damaging the flowers.
Before you put the plants in a vase, you should soak them in water. Pour water at room temperature into a clean bucket so that the leaves and stems are completely submerged and the buds remain on the surface. Thus, the roses hold for 3 hours.
Without pulling out of the bucket, the stems must be cut at an acute angle, flatten the edges. That will allow them to absorb moisture well and maintain a fresh look longer.
It is important to remove thorns and leaves from the stems. They are the first to begin to rot. The flower stalk should remain naked about 2/3 of the entire length.

Reasons for fast wilting

It happens that the gift bouquet of roses in the apartment quickly fade. I wanted more to enjoy the beauty and aroma, and instead flowers with their heads bowed. In order to prevent mistakes in the future, it is important to understand the reasons in more detail.

It’s all fault:

temperature difference, flowers from the cold immediately brought into a warm room;
poor water quality in the vase;
decay of the lower leaves, cut;
draft;
the slice was incorrectly performed, as a result of which the plant did not fully receive nutrition;
high room temperature;
inappropriate location;
hypothermia during transportation.

Roses are not centenarians among flowers. But how do you want the bouquet to stand longer. Just putting flowers in a vase is not enough to extend the life of roses. Take care of cut plants as recommended.

Every day you should change the water in the vase along with the additives.

Wash the vase well during each water change.
Regularly update the cut on the bouquet, about 1-2 cm.

At night, remove the flowers from the vase and put in a bath of cool water. They must be completely immersed in water, you can press down with something so that they do not float.
Be sure to observe the proportions between the height of the vase and the length of the stems.
It is advisable to take a vase not glass, but ceramic, so that the sun's rays do not fall on the stems of the plant.
Do not leave flowers in direct sunlight, near heating appliances, or under air conditioning.

How to trim?

Before arranging flowers in a vase, as well as to prolong freshness, it is necessary to cut off the edge of the peduncle. This procedure is preferably carried out under water in order to avoid the appearance of air jams in the veins of the stem.

First of all, it is worth preparing a sharp instrument, a good option is a pruner. It is not advisable to use scissors, as they can harm the plant.
Further, at an acute angle, obliquely make a cut.
We straighten the bottom a little, so the moisture absorption area increases as much as possible.
Several cuts should be made on the stem for better water supply, and this will prevent blockages in the capillaries.

Some growers advise to burn the edges of the stem on fireto keep roses in the vase longer.

What to add to the water to stand longer?

Florists in their work use a huge amount of funds to extend the life of flowers. They have preservative or nourishing properties. But in general, they help to cope with the task.

Aspirin - a means for disinfecting water. Apply 2-3 tablets per liter of liquid. The substance should completely dissolve in water, and only after that you can put a bouquet.
Sugar and Acetic Acid are good nutrients. Proportion: 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of pure water. Vinegar can be replaced with citric acid, it is not so aggressive.
White. It is not surprising, but it will help revitalize purchased roses, and also reduces the risk of harmful bacteria in the water. Add this agent 1-2 drops, no more.
Wood ash. The substance has an absorbent effect, perfectly filtering water. As an equivalent alternative, activated carbon is suitable. A vase needs a few pills.
Alcohol - Kills bad microflora, preventing it from multiplying. However, in this case, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise you can harm the flowers. It will be enough 1 tablespoon of alcohol or vodka per liter of liquid.
Glycerol. It provides roses with nutritious nutrition, allows not to fade for a long time. It is considered the most effective tool.

Attention! Do not pour cold or warm water into the vase. Room temperature water is ideal.

How to reanimate?

There is nothing eternal, and after a while the flowers still begin to fade, then it is time to start emergency measures.

Using boiling water. In a small saucepan, heat the water to a boiling point. Wrap leaves and buds with paper to prevent thermal burns. Dip a couple of centimeters of legs in boiling water for 3 minutes. Then take out and cut off the darkened areas. Roses put in a vase with cold water or a nutrient solution. So the life expectancy of flowers will increase to a week.
Nitrate helps return roses to their former appearance. This method should be used after using boiling water. Pour 1 teaspoon of saltpeter and 2-3 drops of ammonia into a liter of water. Place the bouquet in the resulting solution. By morning, the flowers will have a fresh look.
Fading flowers are easy to revive with ice. In a vase with a bouquet add a few cubes of frozen water. You must first update the slice. After a few hours, a noticeable improvement in the condition of roses can be observed. With daily use of ice, the life of flowers increases by about 7 days.

The shelf life of different varieties is different. White, beige, pink flowers in a vase are much less than red and burgundy.

What to do if sprouted?

It sometimes happens that after a long stay in water on the stems of flowers, new sprouts appear. This means that the conditions of detention are favorable, so sleeping kidneys woke up. Now you need to prepare the cuttings, wait for the roots and plant the sprout in the ground.

I would like to note that only a local rose can germinate. The Dutch flower was originally inanimate. It was treated with preservatives to prolong the beauty as long as possible. The cuttings of such a plant will never sprout, especially since you do not need to wait for the roots.

When can I plant?

Sprouted cuttings must first be rooted. To do this, choose the appropriate method:

in a potato tuber;
in water;
in the ground.

Regardless of the method of germination, sections are necessarily treated with root stimulating preparations. And the cuttings themselves are placed in mini greenhouses.

Creating comfortable conditions will help the rapid development of the horse system. A clear sign that the stalk is rooted is the appearance of new leaves. In this case, the plant should be in the greenhouse for another week. After you can plant in a pot. And with the advent of summer, plant on a flower bed. It is advisable to remove the buds, thus allowing the rose to take root well before fall.

More information about the planting of the sprouted cuttings can be found here.

Following simple tips, you will probably be able to extend the life of roses for 2-3 weeks, or even for a whole month. There is a sign that if a bouquet is presented with love and good intentions, then it will stand for a long time, without any tricks.
