Specialty rose varieties, such as garden heirloom and David Austin roses, are highly sought after for their exceptional fragrance, historical allure, and stunning visual appeal, setting them apart from standard roses.

Heirloom roses bring a touch of history and robustness with their disease resistance and unique scents, while David Austin roses combine the beauty and fragrance of old roses with the repeat blooming and color variety of modern hybrids.

Despite standard roses offering more consistent flowering and a wider color range, they often lack the intense aroma and distinctive bloom shapes of specialty varieties.

To maximize the life of cut roses, always take care of them as soon as they arrive. Trim 1 inch off the stems, making a slanted cut while they are underwater. This will help them absorb more.

Make sure the vase is completely clean, using bleach if necessary, and rinsing out well. Then, fill with lukewarm water and flower food.

Good hygiene is the most important way to ensure maximum vase life for cut flowers, but cool room temperatures also have a significant influence. Place flowers away from direct sunlight, and avoid positioning them near sources of heat or directly underneath air-conditioned areas.
