Roses are the most popular kinds of flowers. Their history is very colorful.

The history of the rose, as well as the flower itself, is very interesting. Roses have been growing naturally for over 35 million years! However, it was known that they were cultivated only about 5000 years ago. They began to be used not only as home decoration, but also for medicinal purposes, for making perfume, and their petals were even used as confetti for festive events.

Quickly submerging roses in water is the first step in caring for them. Fill the vase ¾ full with fresh, cool, clean water. Roses drink the water, absorbing nutrients that will rise to the flower and make it vibrant. Check the water level in your rose vase daily, and add more water if needed.
