- Some ink may leak from the stem, so be careful with clothing and surfaces.
- The colouring has absolutely no effect on the quality of the rose, in fact they are very strong.
- Blue roses can be ordered from a single rose up to 500 roses!
- You can also choose your own number of blue roses to make your bouquet even more personal.

Blue roses symbolise mystery and rebellion. A rose that is naturally blue does not exist, which is why the rose also represents an unreal dream, unrequited love and fantasy. Do you know someone for whom this description fits perfectly? Then sending a bouquet of blue roses is the perfect gift!

Caring for blue roses
Caring for blue roses is easy and ensures that they stay fresh and last a long time. Here are some tips to keep your blue roses in top condition:
- Cut at an angle: Start by cutting the stem at an angle under running water. This promotes good water absorption.
- Clean water: Place the blue roses in a clean vase with fresh water. Change the water every few days to prevent bacterial growth.
- Remove leaves: Remove leaves that would get below the water surface. This helps keep the water clean and reduces bacterial growth.
- Rose food: Add flower food to the water as per the instructions on the package. This will help prolong the life of the roses.
- Cool and shade: Place the vase in a cool, shady place away from direct sunlight and draughts. This will help prevent dehydration.
- Avoid draughts: Make sure blue roses are not exposed to draughts as this can shorten their life span.
- Regular inspection: Check daily for wilted petals and cut away any wilted parts to maintain freshness.
Extra tip:
Avoid fruit: Keep the roses away from fruit, because fruit emits ethylene gas. This gas accelerates the ripening process and causes your roses to wilt faster.
With these simple steps, you can make the most of the beautiful blue roses and ensure they retain their intense colour during their stay in your home.
