Tis the season

It's that time of year again. You can't get away from the music, whether you love or hate it. The children are anxious for Santa. They may even have an elf show up to their house every morning. The adults are busy decorating and shopping for items on their list. During such a special time of year it's easy to get consumed by the pressure and stress of everything that happens. So remember to do good deeds for others, or just indulge yourself.

Caring for your Valentine Roses

As I'm sure you know, thousands of roses are sold every year on Valentines Day. Here are a few tips on taking care of them.

If your roses arrived in plastic water tubes, remove them before arranging. Remove any leaves that will be under water, taking care not to cut through or scrape the green bark. Recut stems by removing 1-2 inches with a sharp knife. Immediately after cutting, place roses in a clean, deep vase of water containing a flower food provided by your florist. Check the flower food solution daily and make sure to keep it full, clean, and fresh. If the solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely. Keep your roses in a cool place, out of direct sun and drafts.
