Hi Leila, Thanks for that I did mention it to my boss but she was very worried and didnt try it. But thanks for the tip

Saw orchids at a show half had been conditioned by cutting stems and placing in a vase the other half completely submerged and yes you could really see a difference those submerged were plump and strong

HI Rach Thanks for that I will let her know, the other thing is how long can they be submerged for ?

Hi Gringo

I have a bride who wants cappuccino / cream roses for september could you suggest what rose to use.
Her other request is for chocolate cosmos in her tied posy, i have never used these for wedding work before, do they last well out of water.
Thanks for your help

I have just had my delivery from flowers4florists this morning and I have to admit I am very pleased, especially with the way and the care with which they've been packaged. The roses even have the bottom four inches or so stripped already which is something I've not seen before!

what else did you buy and what was the quality like. Considered ordering from flower4florist last week but decided not to as can get cheaper locally.

Blue Curiosa roses, Avalanche, lisianthus, anthurium, greenery, lilies, spray cars (funeral!)
Quality was v good to be honest, beargrass a bit brown at the ends but that's quite common isn't it

Hi!
Very interested to read what you say about Barbie/Heaven roses because I was just going to ask why the ones I recently got from the wholesaler all developed "pitted" petals after a relatively short time? Are they prone to that as well as bruising or do they maybe not like the chiller very much?

Also, a customer wants a rose as near as possible to the garden Peace rose. Could anyone recommend anything please?

As a "newy" - to flower shop owning and to this site - I'm finding it (the site) a great comfort at low points (a lot of those at the moment)!! Oh well, onwards and upwards...

hello im new here and would like to no where i can bye my flowers from id be pleased if you could help me i live in peterborough england thankyou mary

I have noticed that this thread is 2 years old and I have only been member for a few months but dont recognise the person who has started the thread. Just thinking you would be better off starting a new thread yourself with your queries. Sorry I cant help either of you with your questions
