Floralife Research, Postharvest Rose Care and Handling
The rose is one of the most economically important and popular cut flowers around the world. Rose varieties are diverse in terms of color, shape and postharvest characteristics, such as flower opening and vase life. For all rose varieties, proper postharvest care and handing is critical for obtaining optimum vase life, flower opening and petal color development. Fresh cut flower food plays an important role in their postharvest performance by providing essential nutrients in the proper balance. Floralife, Inc. has done extensive research on the postharvest aspects of roses and introduced a flower food specifically formulated to improve their quality. Floralife® Premium Rose Flower Food is available in either a powder or concentrated liquid formulation.
