Rose Petal Shop

Recently we have had a number of customers ask about how to properly care for their fresh rose petals.  In answer to these questions we have re-posted our care instructions for fresh rose petals below:

* With fresh rose petals you will want to be sure to avoid two things: (1) Moisture and (2) Freezing Temperatures.

* Our fresh rose petals are packed in bags with roughly 1,000 petals per bag.  When you receive the bags, carefully open one end of the bag, fold a paper towel in half and slide it inside the bag in between the bag and the rose petals.  Flip the bag over and repeat the process (you will essentially be lining the inside of the bag with paper towels).  The paper towels will catch any condensation which may form and will help to insulate the petals.

*We do recommend storing the fresh rose petals in a refrigerator; however, when you put them in the refrigerator be sure to keep your eye on them as every refrigerator is different in terms of temperature and humidity.  Often times there is a spot in the refrigerator that freezes… do not put your fresh rose petals in that area.  If the fresh rose petals look as if they are drying out or getting too cold, remove them from the refrigerator and store them in a cool spot out of sunlight and away from heat (such as in the garage or basement) in the box they came in.
