Why We Peel Back Rose Petals

One common question we often receive revolves around the appearance of our roses. When you receive a bouquet from us, you may notice that some of the rose petals have been carefully peeled back, and you may be wondering if this is this on purpose. Our answer? Yes, it is!

Our florists are trained with this technique to expertly peel back the petals to enhance the beauty of our roses. This is a stylistic choice to highlight the inner petals and the flower’s natural elegance and to create a fuller, more luxurious appearance.

This also creates a layered look to the blossom as it adds both depth and dimension to the arrangement, making the bouquet more dynamic. It gives the roses a fresh, garden-picked look that many of our customers adore.

Here's a normal rose compared to a peeled back one. 

Rest assured, this technique does NOT harm the health or freshness of our roses in any way.

To help your roses last as long as possible, here are a few simple care tips to ensure your roses thrive:

Water: Always keep your roses in clean, fresh water.

Change the water every few days and trim the stems at an angle to help with water absorption.

Location: Place your bouquet in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and drafts.

Remove Wilting Petals: If there are petals wilting, gently remove them to keep the bouquet looking fresh and tidy.
