Freshness Guide for Lilies, Roses and Carnations

When faced with purchasing flowers for gifts, home decorating or other projects, it's sometimes difficult for the consumer to know exactly how fresh a particular flower is, how long one can expect it to last, and what clues to look for that tell that a flower is fading fast. We've compiled some general rules to help you make these choices.

Lilies

Lilies are about the longest lived bulb flowers. This is a good thing, as they are very beautiful and usually expensive. Luckily you get a lot for your money. Each lily stem has three to six potential blooms. When buying lilies, look for a bunch with a lot of unopened buds that are showing a great deal of color. If a few of the buds are open, that's okay, you'll still get a lot of milage out of the bunch. Just make sure that the open buds are not even slightly transparent. When you get your lilies home, pull off the stamens on any buds that are open or beginning to open. Once the stamens come to seed, they'll fall all over the open petals, staining them with their orangy powder (not to mention your best tablecloth). If some of the petals have already been stained by the stamens, you can clean the petals gently with a pipecleaner. That usually will remove most of the discoloration.

Roses

Roses have an unfair reputation of being short-lived. However, if you follow our freshness guide, you can expect to get four to six day's enjoyment from your roses. Probably the most important factor to check when buying a rose is the firmness of the head. Gently squeeze the rose head at its fullest part. A truly fresh rose will have a great deal of firmness. If you find that it's the least bit soft, don't buy it, as it's well past its peak. Look for buds that are just beginning to crack. If a rose is too tight, though, it probably won't ever open. Also, make sure the tips of the petals are not browning (red roses will have black edges). Check the foliage too, make sure it isn't yellowing. Choose roses that haven't had their thorns removed. Often times, even when you buy a perfect rose, after a couple of days the heads fall over. This is probably a result of over-hybridization on the part of rose cultivators. Roses have been bred over the years to have bigger, showier heads. Unfortunately some of this showiness has been at the expense of the stems, which are too weak to support these large blooms.

Carnations

Carnations and miniature carnations have a fairly long life. Carnations will usually be fully opened when you buy them. It's important to inspect the edges of the petals for any sign of discoloration or browning. With miniature carnations look carefully at the opened buds for signs of browning. Try to choose a bunch of miniature carnations with a lot of unopened buds as well. The unopened green buds will never open, so make sure most buds are showing color. A fully opened carnation will last four to five days. Miniature carnations will last even longer. If you prune off the florettes that begin to die, your miniature carnations can look fresh for a week or more.
