A Little Facts About Roses - St Anne's Florist Have In Stock A Large Range Of Roses Available For Perth Delivery

The Rose (Rosa) has been one of the most cherished, admired and widely cultivated flowers, it has a special place in most people hearts and is the worlds favourite flower with billions sold around the globe annually.

Roses are extremely versatile  for Florists to use and grow in so many different forms, colours and sizes that they can used across all aspects of Floristry. Roses are fairly hardy if treated correctly and survive well either in a vase of water or in floral foam

Archaeologists are said to have found fossilised roses that are over 30 million years old. It is claimed that Cleopatra wooed Mark Antony with rose oil and rose petals, today's lovers know the seductive power of Roses.

Despite the worldwide cultivation of Roses, Roses are often considered a luxury. Roses which are grown commercially are cut in the early morning or late in the day when the sun is low in they sky, cut on a 45 degree angle and placed straight into a bucket of water. The buckets are filled high up the stems of the roses as Cut Roses, especially those with large flower heads are
really thirsty.

The best commercial Roses are those that are grown in sunny hot climates at altitude,  translating to hot long days and colder nights that are essential for Roses to produce at their maximum.

Roses are the most popular flower to send at Valentines Day, especially Long Stem Red Roses. Most people believe it is the Florists or Flower Shop that are the cause of the increase in Costs of Roses around the Valentines Day period, however it is the Growers that increase their prices in this period sometimes by some 2 to 5 times the usual amount that they charge for Roses

Warmer Weather Means Great Quality Locally Grown Roses - Spoil That Special Someone NOW

Perth Grown Roses

With this warmer Perth weather, our Perth rose growers are able to produce great quality roses and in large quantities. Over the cooler winter months, those growers who do not gas heat their glasshouses find it hard to produce the volumes to keep up with demand, so the range to choose from is very limited. Now that the days and nights are warmer, there is a large range of locally grown roses now available.

Imported overseas roses are always available as they are grown in hot climates such as Kenya and South Amercica HOWEVER the quality of the roses cannot always be guaranteed. These roses have been air freighted to Perth, so thay have a few days travel before they arrive in Perth. Locally grown roses can be picked, arranged and sent out and received on the same day they are picked!

Fresh Perth Roses

Imported roses are often of variety's that simply do not exist here in Australia, so when variety of rose is not grown locally, imported roses are good to use. 

St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets try and use where possible locally grown roses - we find they last longer than imports and if there is ever an issue the local grower/supplier will replace or adjust production techniques to overcome issues.

Why not send some great looking Perth Roses to that special someone? You can order Roses for Perth delivery online NOW at www.stannesflorist.com.au, call us on 9388 8844 or visit us in the shop at 263 Hay Street Subiaco WA 6008.

Caring for your Cut Flowers delivered by St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets

Cut Flower Care


This is a series of blog posts by St Annes Florist and Gift Baskets to assist our customers with caring for the various cut flowers and potted plants that we sell here at St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets Perth .



How can you keep your fresh flowers looking fabulous longer, just how they’ve been delivered by St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets? Here are some helpful tips to help your flowers last longer:

• Source the freshest, highest quality flowers available (St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets has this step already covered for you by sourcing from only the best flowers growers, we restock flowers daily at the markets to ensure that what we have in the shop is the freshest available).

• For arrangements in vases or self contained boxes please make sure that the water is topped up upon it being delivered to you, then check and keep topped up daily or at least every second day. This helps ensures your flowers to last longer.

• For flowers that are not contained within their own vase or self contained box trim all flower stems with sharp clean secateurs or scissors diagonally approx. 2-3cm’s from the bottom of the stem as soon as possible after receiving the flowers. By cutting the stems diagonally you are increasing the surface area in which the exposed cell capillaries can draw in water.

• Ethylene gas is released by decaying leaf and stem trimmings, ripening fruit, cigarettes and motor vehicle exhaust gases. So trim/strip all foliage/leaves that will sit below the intended vase water line. (Do not buy cut flowers from vendors who have flower stock displayed out front of shops by the roadside or that have been standing in the sun as these simply won’t last).

• Foliage on most flowers can be removed by simply grasping around the flower stem and then pulling downward gently. However hard stemmed or stems with thorns such as roses can be stripped using a small sharp knife pulled along the stem.

• Choose a clean vase for your flowers. (Dirty vases decrease the life of your flowers due to harmful bacteria shortening the life of your flowers). Clean your vase with water and a few drops of bleach, leave for a couple of hours and then scrub the vase clean.

• Do not use metallic vases as these react detrimentally with fresh cut flowers.

• Arrange your flowers in the most appropriate vase, fill the vase with water ensuring the water level does not go higher than the bottom of the foliage/leaves.

Now that you have your flowers in a suitable vase, the following points are just as important to maximize the vase life of your flowers:

• Keep your fresh flowers as cool as possible; out of direct sunlight; out of drafts, away from air-conditioning vents/units, away from heaters, away from lamps and strong lighting in close proximity.

• Keep your flowers away from all ripening fruit and vegetables. (see ethylene gas above)

• Re-cut stems approx 2-3cm’s from the bottom and replace water at least every second day (more often if possible and convenient to do so).

• When you are changing the water (as above) it is a good idea to scrub the vase clean with a diluted bleach solution at the same time. By changing the water and cleaning the vase regularly you are decreasing the levels of bacteria that detrimentally affect the vase life of your flowers.

• Remove any decaying stems, wilted or dead flowers that have ‘seen better days’.

• Sit back and absorb the beauty of fresh cut flowers.

By following the above steps, you are going to assist in maximizing the vase life of your fresh cut flowers that have been delivered to you by St Annes Florist and Gift Baskets Perth - the Perth Florist everyone knows and trusts.
