How can I send roses to my fiancee?
My fiancee is in London, UK right now and I am in the US. I want to send her real roses. How do I go about getting some delivered to her house without them dying? I am thinking a dozen red roses. Thanks.

The Language of Roses
Everywhere you go, roses are traditional favorites – they symbolize love and beauty. It is commonly sent as a gift to friends and families and for many people, the colors of the rose you send to someone can mean something.
For example, a pink rose flower can mean grace and gentility. If you give it to someone, you’re telling him/her “you’re gentle and graceful”. If you were given a rose with a deep pink color, they’re probably saying “thank you” while light pink roses mean sympathy and admiration. It is the best way to cheer up grieving family members. The regular pink roses can mean “I’m very happy with our relationship”.
Peach colored roses are usually used for decorations and in bouquets given to friends because they mean sociability, friendship and modesty. Of course, deep red is about saying “I love you” and is a favorite gift for Valentine’s Day. Few people also associate this color with passion and other noble values like respect and courage.
Contrary to what many people think, a white colored rose doesn’t only mean friendship. Fact is, it has several special meanings such as “you’re heavenly” and “I’m worthy of you”. It is often associated with values like reverence, humility, innocence, purity, secrecy and silence. It is most commonly used in weddings and is deemed as colorful as the red ones.
Yellow Philippine roses express joy and gladness. It is given to new mothers, newlyweds and graduates to celebrate their achievements. These usually serve as a reminder for your busy loved ones. Orange roses are for enthusiasm and desire. If you want to tell someone that you want to get to know them better, then this is the perfect color of roses to give them.
Lavender colored roses is a symbol of “falling in love” and is given to someone when you want to say “I am enchanted by you”. A blue rose is very difficult to find but there are already several companies trying to reproduce them naturally. Blue means mystery and it could also mean “attaining the impossible” – give this to someone and you’re ultimately saying “you are a rare gem, with you, I have attained the impossible”.
So, if you want to send multiple messages to someone, you send them a combination of colors. For example, white and red roses delivered together can mean “may be always be together as one”. Or send lavender and orange rose to say that you are falling in love and you want to know him/her better.
Or you can try this tip. Send 11 deep pink colored roses and 1 red rose to say this message to your partner: “thank you for being unique, I love you.”

How to keep my V-day roses pretty longer?
Lucky me! I had 14 red roses delivered for V-Day and they covered up the foam block (submerged in water) used to arrange them. I’ve thought you were supposed to get rid of the leaves that will be in the water…Help!
I left out the fact that the florist covered the foam block with LEAVES. They look beautiful, but it seemed wrong!
Thanks for your help!
1.
Prepare for cutting the roses. Make certain you have a clean vase. It is very important to properly wash the flower vase in between uses and not just rinse it out. Also have clean and very sharp clippers for cutting them. You can use water and a very small amount of bleach for cleaning, but be sure to rinse (or wipe) them thoroughly. Be sure to purchase rose preservative powder that is available from your local nursery, flower shop or online. This little miracle powder does wonders. You should also only use soft water or distilled water for your roses. Most water from the faucet is not the best choice for your roses.
2.
Cut (or re-cut) your roses. If you bought or received flowers, you can re-cut them as described here once you have them home. There is a big debate about the better time to cut your own roses, whether it is early in the morning or late afternoon, so this decision is up to you. Cut the roses just above a five-leafed branch. Cut all of the stems except the very top ones and place them in a bucket with water.
3.
Ready the roses for display. Fill a large container with very warm water and re-cut the stems (while holding them underwater) approximately ΒΌ inch. You can add some rose preservative and a little bleach to this water. Let the roses stand in the water (stems only) until it reaches room temperature. Fill the vase with warm water, rose preservative and a few drops of bleach. Add the roses to the vase and display them out of sunlight and away from heat sources. If possible, place them in a refrigerator overnight.
