Check
the water supply immediately upon arrival. Add lukewarm water as needed.
For best results, use floral
preservative, if provided. Mix the preservative with room
temperature water, in the proportion recommended
on the package. If floral foam is used, 
make sure it is always thoroughly saturated. Check your arrangement daily to make sure it has
plenty of clear, fresh water. Display your arrangement in a cool location, out of direct sunlight and away from electrical
appliances. Avoid particularly hot or cold areas.
To rearrange any flowers, re-cut the stem
ends under water using a sharp knife or
scissors. Then, insert each flower back into the arrangement.
If floral foam is used, be sure to insert the stems firmly and deeply.

~Roses~ If you take an even closer look at what the rose
symbolizes on the basis of a universal kind of interpretation, it soon becomes quite clear that above and beyond any other
association it might possess, the rose is perceived as a symbol of love. In this connection, we can cite – by way of
example – from Hans Biedermann’s symbol encyclopedia: “Adonis
was Aphrodite’s (Venus’) lover, and in the myth about Adonis’ death, the very first red roses are said to
have sprouted forth from his blood. Accordingly, the roses became a symbol of the love that transcends death...” “...
In Christian symbolism, the rose is symbolic of the crucified person’s blood and, as such, a symbol of heavenly love.
On the other hand, the troubadour’s lyrics saw in the rose a tangible symbol of earthly love, and as a symbol of love,
the rose continues to thrive in our own time

 Lilies - Remove any leaves that may be under water.
- While
holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears.
DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring it back to your arrangement or other container.

to which a good floral preserve has been added is the best solution in which to arrange fresh cut lilies. Using it as
recommended will provide additional days of vase life. Avoid using water from a water softener.

the pollen. If you get any lily pollen on your clothing DO NOT rub off with your hands (rubs pollen deeper into the fabric).
Use a toothbrush or a dry towel to brush off pollen.
