Florist News

I'm considering selling flowers by post. Does anyone have any care suggestions for preparing them for transit?

My main concern is with Roses. Once I receive them from the wholesaler should I cut and condition them, then re-wrap them up? Or is it best that I leave them and send them straight on the next day - as the rose head will already be opening by that afternoon if I water them well. I'm concerned they will have already wilted by the time they arrive.

I'm fairly new so be gentle. Thanks for reading.

people who post flowers are not well received on here as they take business away from real florists. If you dont know how to condition flowers you shouldn't be working with them at all. I would advise you to forget the internet business and go to college if you want to learn about flowers

i am in total agreement - people on here have spent a long time learning the trade you should too or leave boxed cut flowers to the growers who also know what it's about.
