We love roses and therefore also the day of love. That's why we happily send roses on Valentine's Day.
Your cut roses will give you the longest pleasure if they are not in direct sunlight and not near a fully turned-on heater. So place them near a window in a light-flooded room. Tip: The window front should face west or east, then the delicate blossoms do not get the full midday sun.
If roses wilt after such a short time, it is mainly due to the quality. When buying, always make sure that you get really freshly cut roses that have not been in a stale state for a long time.
If you take good care of your roses, they will last up to 14 days in a vase. Please note our care tips.
Roses don't need much to be happy. Ordinary fresh tap water is perfectly sufficient. Tip: Add a teaspoon of bleach per litre of water to extend the shelf life.
Roses in a vase need fresh tap water at least every 2 days. Make sure that the rose stems are at least half submerged in water.
You should only use glycerin if you want to preserve your roses for a long time. Use a conventional glycerin from your local hardware store or pharmacy.
Although there are some fertilizers that are specifically designed for cut flowers, roses in vases do not require fertilizer. With regular water changes and good care, they can last up to 14 days.
Bulbous, almost spherical vases are particularly suitable for roses, as they offer plenty of space for water - because roses are thirsty! Such a vase also highlights the curves of the roses beautifully. The material doesn't make much of a difference, but plastic should always be the last choice.
Much more important than the shape of the vase, however, is its cleanliness. Always clean your vase thoroughly before use and every now and then afterwards.
It is best to recut your roses every time you change the water (every 2 days). This way the cut remains fresh and the roses can absorb the water optimally.
Adjust the length of the roses to fit your vase and remove any leaves that would stand in the water. Make sure that enough of the stem remains so that the stems can stand at least halfway in the water.
Cut the roses diagonally at the bottom of the stem using a sharp knife (without serrations), depending on the length required. Please do not use scissors for this, otherwise you will crush the water channels and the water absorption will be severely inhibited. You should also avoid tips that are popular on the internet, such as flattening the roses with a hammer. After cutting, place the roses in water immediately to prevent the channels from becoming blocked. Professionals even cut the roses directly under water.
If you don't prune your roses regularly, bacterial microorganisms will form at the old cut site and can spread. If you prune your roses regularly and change the water at the same time, they will stay germ-free and therefore fresh for longer. By cutting at an angle, you increase the surface area so that the roses can absorb more water.
Since roses are very versatile, they are actually suitable for every occasion. Whether it is for weddings, birthdays, company anniversaries, service anniversaries, awards, Valentine's Day, after a stroke of fate or simply because you want to show appreciation to someone - you can rarely go wrong with roses.
That depends very much on the person and the relationship with that person. If it is a woman with whom you have a good but not passionate relationship, the color light pink is perfect. Red, purple and orange roses are much more passionate.
If it is a man, dark pink shows gratitude, red-yellow shows joy, happiness and excitement and red shows a lot of passion.
Never give yellow roses in a relationship, as they can represent infidelity and jealousy. However, they are well suited for friendship, where they represent fun and gratitude.

Not everyone speaks the language of roses, but those who understand it will quickly discover the message behind it. Therefore, choose your roses for the first date very carefully and according to the following criteria:
- Pink roses: If you want to appear innocent but still emotional. They are perfect for a first date.
- Red roses: If you want to make it clear from the beginning in which direction the date will lead. They represent passion and love and could be too exaggerated and direct for some people on a first date.
- Lavender-colored roses: They are also great for a first date because they represent love at first sight!
- Not a good choice for a first date: You shouldn't choose white roses, as they represent shyness and are associated by many with marriage. Yellow roses are an absolute no-go, as in a relationship they represent infidelity and jealousy and in general they represent friendship - and the friend zone is the last thing you want to end up on a first date.
There is no other rose color that can show your gratitude more than dark pink. That's why it's the best choice for an apology. However, it always depends a lot on the taste of the recipient, and you probably know them best. 🙂 If in doubt, we'll be happy to advise you!
Again, the choice depends largely on your partner's taste. But in a relationship, there is probably nothing more beautiful than showing love and passion with a strong red rose.
However, you should avoid purely yellow roses, as these can represent jealousy, infidelity and relationship problems.
There is no classic rose that people usually give each other for Christmas. However, we think a combination of white and red is very appropriate, as these are the typical colors of Santa Claus. Otherwise, choose the rose according to the recipient's taste.
Pink roses are a very popular classic for weddings because they represent young love, being in love and beauty. Pink roses are also very popular because they represent happiness and joy and radiate positive energy.
We recommend a beautiful bouquet of white, rose, pink and lavender roses, which harmonize wonderfully together and look really beautiful for the wedding.
Without a doubt, the classic rose for Valentine's Day is the red one. No other flower symbolizes Valentine's Day like the red rose. But if you want to take it a little slower, light pink is also a great choice.
If you think this rule has something to do with superstition, we can reassure you. This rule originally came about because of the French markets. An even number of flowers were always sold at the market, so if you wanted to stand out and show that you had a bulging wallet, you bought an odd number of flowers in an elegant flower shop. Nowadays, the rule only exists because an odd number can be arranged much more beautifully in a vase and therefore looks better. However, this is no longer so important once you have a larger number.
The following rose colors occur in nature:
- Red: Love & Passion
- Rosa: Young, beginning love
- White: innocence, loyalty, new beginning
- Yellow: Friendship, fun & joy (but infidelity & problems in a love relationship)
- Orange: Happiness, enthusiasm & security
- Violet: Admiration & love at first sight
There are now also various color mixtures that have been specially bred. Black and blue roses, on the other hand, do not occur in nature and cannot be bred; they are artificially colored
There are several methods to dry roses properly. We will tell you the classic and the easiest method.
- Air-drying roses: Attach your roses to a piece of string and hang them upside down in a dry, dark room. Make sure that you don't tie the string too tightly; it should definitely not cut into the stem. After about 2 weeks, the roses are dry and can be sealed against dust with a little hairspray.
- Drying roses in salt: This is the best trick to preserve the rich colors of your roses as best as possible. Take a sealable container and fill it with some salt. Then place your roses in the container and pour in enough salt to completely cover your roses. Now you can seal the container and, after waiting 2-3 weeks, enjoy your freshly dried roses.
- Drying roses in detergent: Yes, you read that right, that works too! And it works exactly the same as drying in salt. When using detergent, however, you should shake the container a little to make sure that all of the hollow spaces in the roses are covered with detergent.
If you want to preserve your roses in a way other than drying, we recommend preserving them with glycerine. This will keep the roses looking fresh for a long time, but it may take 2-3 attempts until the result is perfect.
- It is best to get the roses of your choice fresh on the day (the fresher the better)
- Then cut it diagonally with a sharp knife without serrations as described above. The stem should be no more than 20 cm long; the shorter the stem, the faster the rose will be preserved.
- Now mix glycerin with lukewarm water (50/50 ratio) and pour the mixture into a vase. You can find glycerin in hardware stores or in some pharmacies.
- Now place the freshly cut roses in the vase with the water/glycerine mixture. The preservation process will take 2 - 3 days, depending on the rose.
- When small drops form on the flower, the preservation process is complete. You can now take your roses out of the vase and use them anywhere as decoration without water.
- (Optional) You can now use hairspray to add some shine and protect the preserved rose from dust.
Our roses are grown by Ecuadorian family businesses at around 3m above sea level. The fertile environment, mild daytime climate and cool nights make the roses particularly robust.
We receive fresh roses every day and ensure that the companies place value on human and environmental friendliness.
Unfortunately, you always have to make a compromise between longevity and fragrance when it comes to roses. Roses with particularly intense scents are already well advanced in their flowering phase and then begin to wilt quickly. Simple wild roses have the most intense scent, but are not very suitable for giving as gifts, as they are not as robust as cultivated roses.
