How to Keep White Roses From Turning Brown
- 1). Don't touch the blossom petals, to avoid bruising and browning the flower.
- 2). Keep the roses in a cool location, away from heat sources, and avoid sudden changes of temperature or drafts of cold or hot air.
- 3). Cut 1/2 inch from the stem, if it is a stemmed white rose, before placing it in a vase of water. Remove any leaves that will be covered with water when placed in the vase. Add the floral preservative that comes with the flower to the water, following the directions on the package.
- 4). Keep the corsage or bouquet in the florist box until you are ready to wear it. This includes when you are traveling to your destination site.
- 5). Wear the corsage blossom up, stem down.
- 6). Store the florist box of white roses in the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
- 7). Add water to the foam of the corsage daily.
