Flowers of Kingwood is your local Porter, Texas florist
Shopping for Roses? If so, Flowers of Kingwood offers the freshest roses and flowers in the Houston area. We have a talented and award – winning team of Floral Designers, that offer creative and fresh rose arrangements of all types and colors. Since June is National Rose Month, it is a great occasion to shop with Flowers of Kingwood. While we sell the best roses in town, we also offer a tremendous selection of other products. Most recently, I was provided with a sensational article regarding roses that was written by the Chairman of the Society of American Florists. There is great information in the article, and it is so relevant for National Rose Month.
Roses are the most popular flower in the world, with over a billion stems sold annually. Over 250 million are produced for Valentine’s Day alone. They are popular because of their beautiful colors, shape and petal structure, as well as their lovely fragrance. While many landscape roses have 5 petals, hybrid tea roses, those produced for commercial cutting, can have up to 40 petals. Best of all, there are always new varieties to discover with over 150 rose species and thousands of fabulous cultivars.
June is National Rose Month, a perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite varieties, not ranked, because they are simply too beautiful to pick a favorite.
- Alabaster is a breathtaking, off-white rose with many soft, delicate petals.
- Catalina warms my soul with creamy yellow petals that reveal sunshine as they open.
- Ashley is a luscious pink rose that is not too pale and not too bold.
- Juliet captivates me with a very interesting petal structure and perfect peach color.
- Miyabi Wabara is a pink rose with a peach heart and wonderfully ruffled petals.
- Free Spirit combines yellow, peach and pink in its countless petals. Just WOW!
- Keep the water clean. Bacteria is our primary enemy and you can limit bacterial growth by rinsing the vase daily and refilling with water.
- Cut stems with a knife or very sharp pruners. Dull scissors will pinch the Xylem and Phloem closed and restrict the uptake of water.
- Use the flower food provided by your florist. The old wives’ tales about aspirin and pennies are lore and not based on any science. The food is most essential during the first two water changes, so do not worry if you run out.
- If a rose wilts prematurely, do not trash it. Simply give it a fresh cut and submerge the entire rose in warm water for an hour or so. It will rehydrate and look great for many additional days.
Therefore, we can deliver a fully developed, open rose that will perform well in the vase for 6-10 days. If you get one, follow my care instructions and enjoy the rose in its most beautiful open stages.
This month I hope you will join me in experiencing the joy of roses, both as a giver and receiver. Happy Summer!
