For Roses: - Cut and leave wrapping on for 1 hour BEFORE removing the cardboard. This allows the roses to rehydrate after shipping while upright and supported. This prevents sad drooping. - After 1 hour, remove wrapping and space out in its own vessel. - If the base of the rose feels hard or tight, feel free to use a blow dryer (cool temp only!) to blow into the heads of the roses. This will help them open without damaging the blooms. - Placing them in a sunny spot for the day, and spacing them out typically helps them to open to their full capactiy. Carnations: - These ladies are super easy to care for! Just cut and place in fresh, clean water. - Use your thumb to push the petals open if closed, you can't hurt'em!
