Bronze Ruffle Novelty Roses
- PLEASE READ: Tinted and Dyed Roses will stain your hands! Wearing gloves while handling is recommended. If using these roses for bouquets, be sure to wrap the ENDS of the stems so that the dye or paint does not stain dresses and other clothing.
-
Season: All year
Color: Cream with terracotta outer petals - Special Care Note: Cut and hydrate for 1 hour BEFORE removing cardboard wrapping. Then spread out so they open to full potential.
- Flower Design Type: Filler Flower
- Shipping Note: For protection, roses are shipped in a cardboard wrap. The 25 stems are layered, therefore you will only be able to see the top layer. DON’T FREAK OUT, you have not been short-changed, sweet pea! Once you unwrap, all 25 stems will be waiting on you!
The Good: Tinted and Dyed Roses are perfect for achieving a very specific color palette! These are the only roses with no color variance issues. They are also hardy and long-lasting!
The Bad: The dye used on these roses can transfer to skin or fabric. While not harmful, this can be annoying. Wear gloves while handling these roses, and be sure to wrap the ends of the stems if using in a bouquet. Roses come closed and need to ‘bloom’, therefore they need a lot of elbow room, so no crowding! If tight, set them outside in warm weather for a few hours or use a hairdryer (heat OFF, cool setting only) to push the petals open. One other trick is to turn a rose upside down and spin the stem in your hand, this will force the bloom open quickly.The foliage on tinted and dyed roses are typically crummy, dyed weird colors, and usually need to be removed, so don’t freak if the greenery looks shabby.
- Remove lower leaves, give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water for 1 hour BEFORE unwrapping cardboard. This will prevent the roses from slumping over by allowing them to rehydrate while upright.
- After an hour, remove the wrapping and spread out. Allow for plenty of elbow room!
- Roses can come in tight, so place them in a sunny location to encourage opening.
