"Roses say what's on your mind"

How to lengthen the life of your rose bouquet:
- Immediately fill the vase with water, if needed, upon arrival.
- Check your arrangement daily to make sure it has plenty of clear, fresh water.
- Display your arrangement in a cool location, out of direct sunlight and away from electrical appliances.
- When the water starts to get cloudy, dump all the water, wash the vase/container, fill the vase with lukewarm water and mix a packet of flower preservative.
- Cut about 1/2 inch off all the stems with sharp floral clippers or scissors before putting the bouquet back into the vase full of water with floral preservative.


Did you know that roses bloom in late spring and early summer?
Do you have rose plants? Here's some tips on how to prolong the blooming season for your rose plants in Sacramento during the hot days of summer:
Roses prefer at least 6 hours of direct sun, preferably morning sun.
Water generously, ideally in the morning, so that the leaves dry out to prevent disease.
Water from 4 to 7 days of the week during summer or once a day in the mornings during the blazing hot summer days in the Sacramento Valley.

Florist in Sacramento CA you can rely on for prompt delivery

Could be that it slipped your mind about a father's day gift. You thought about it a couple days ago, but got distracted. Did you know that you can call a florist for gift suggestion, then the florist hand delivers your gift for you the same day you call? Most local florist will have their address prominently displayed on their website, so you can either call or visit and see the wide variety of gifts offered. In a rush, call a local family owned florist. Avoid the florists listed on the search engines that offer free delivery. These are mostly ecommerce businesses that do not know the Sacramento area; they take your order, charge for handling, then sends your order to a local florist. The handling fee is kept by the ecommerce business, so the delivering florist will have to deduct delivery fee from the price of the bouquet or gift.

New at blogging

I'm new at this, I read blogs, but haven't done any 'til now. Been busy trying to attract new customers at my site, I think the price of gas/oil is keeping people away from shopping. It boggles me that the stock traders are able to manipulate the price of oil based on their assumptions; there's plenty of oil, not just enough refineries to process oil. I hope that someone gets a product out there to replace gas, to discover new source of energy for everyday use. Well, graduation is near for area high schools in Sacramento. We should be grateful that there are kids that work hard to finish high school or college and become active contributing citizens.

Flower musings

I had a call from an elderly customer about roses his wife received from her nephew a couple days ago. They came in a nice box from marthasflowers.com and now the flowers were bent, wilting even if her vase has a lot of water. We prepared a nice arrangement of a dozen roses in a mixture of colors, with fern, nice greenery and babies breath to accent the roses. We delivered the arrangement to her which she was so grateful for. We took the wilting roses to the shop and the instructions that came with the roses. I wonder if the elderly lady has the inclination to arrange her own flowers. The roses did not come with greenery or accents! I wonder how much was charged for the roses and the delivery. We cut the stems under water then put these in warm water with flower solution. 2 hours later, the roses were straight up and looked good especially since these were in the right size vase with greenery and accents. Who would send an old lady a dozen roses and expect her to arrange the flowers herself?

Graduation flowers and gifts

Need to send flowers or gifts to a high schooler who's graduating soon? In Sacramento, high school graduation will be in the middle of the week and starts at about 3 in the afternoon, so you won't be able to attend the ceremony. You can call a local florist for a balloon bouquet to show how proud you are of your graduate's achievement, or order a lei to be worn at the graduation ceremony. Make sure that you are ordering from a true local florist. For a directory of local Sacramento florists, visit Local Sacramento Florists
