Care & Handling Tips for Wholesale Multicolor Roses

Care & Handling Tips for Wholesale Multicolor Roses

To get the most beauty and longevity from your wholesale bicolor roses, it’s essential to follow proper unpacking, hydrating, and storage practices. These two-tone roses are particularly delicate due to their blended petal colors, which can bruise or fade more easily without proper care. Here’s how to ensure your roses arrive and open beautifully for your special event.

1. Unpacking & Initial Inspection

Carefully unpack your roses as soon as they arrive. They may appear slightly wilted or closed—this is normal after transit. Remove any plastic sleeves or cardboard wrapping. Do not force the petals open.

2. Remove Guard Petals

Many bicolor roses ship with guard petals—outer petals designed to protect the rose during transit. These may look bruised or dull but can be gently removed to reveal the fresh inner layers. This is especially helpful for preserving the crisp color contrast of two-tone varieties.

3. Rehydrate Immediately

• Fill clean buckets or containers with room temperature water
• Add commercial floral preservative if available (or a homemade mix of 1 tsp sugar + 1 drop bleach per quart)
• Trim 1–2 inches off each stem at a 45° angle under running water to avoid air bubbles
• Remove any foliage that would sit below the waterline
• Place stems in water immediately after cutting

4. Storage & Blooming Control

To encourage faster blooming, place roses in warm water and keep them in a well-lit area (not direct sunlight). To slow blooming, use cool water and store roses in a dark, cool room (ideally 34–40°F). Avoid areas near fruit or appliances that emit ethylene gas.

5. Final Prep for Display

24 hours before your event, check the roses and gently remove any remaining outer petals or blemishes. Re-trim stems and refresh water. Your bicolor roses will now display full, vibrant heads with a rich, multidimensional color palette.
