Can ivory floral spray lighten the shade of a purple rose?
I have purple and light pink roses coming in to be used in a floral display. I’d like them to be slightly lighter in pigment (this was all the shop had available). Could I use floral spray in a ivory or vanilla shade to lighten the roses’ color some? Is this a good idea?
It may work but I do not think it is a great idea. The difficulty of spraying all the flowers and trying to get them the exact shade you wish would be very difficult. Even though the flowers are not the exact color that you desire, people won’t mind.

Choose Rose Gold Engagement Rings for Rarity and Designs
More couples now opt for rose gold engagement rings than before. This is because these rings are unique in colors and design. Many purchase the jewelry for giving an antique look to it. However, know all the details about the rings to make a more informed purchasing.
To make rose gold jewelry, usually 25 percent copper is blended with 75 percent pure gold. To get darker red coloration, more copper is mixed in the precious metal. Thus, the jewelers can get different hues by lowering or increasing the copper proportion. Clearly, there are many varieties of engagement rings of rose gold that to choose from.
Choose a style
Rose gold engagement rings come in various designs. Because copper alloy offers different colors, you will find many ring jewelries incorporating copper alloy. You can choose the jewelry that has this metal along with diamonds or gemstones. For instance, you can opt for rose shades with pink diamonds in these rings.
You will also find many patterns that involve the gold to some extent. In some rings, the metal offers a perfect contrast for unusual hues. To create different designs, the jewelers make use of different settings like bezel.
Where to find them?
While more jewelers are staking these rings, a common place to find them is antique shop. A century back or so, the art deco period used bold colors by mixing of metals. Hence, rose gold engagement rings were amongst popular jewelries of those times.
Gradually, engagement rings with rose gold as a metal are finding place amongst designer rings. This is making the rings more available in the collection of the jewelers. So far, such rings have been rare to find.
Besides, antique shops, online retail jewelers can also be searched for the jewelry. Due to increasing popularity of antique jewelry, you can buy these rings online as well. but you may need to make an extensive search on internet for right prices.
Affordable rings
As copper is a cheaper alloy than silver, prices of rose gold engagement rings should be lower amongst all the rings. But that may not be the case always. This is because still Rose Gold Rings are rare jewelry. While searching for these jewelries do not be surprise on the prices.
However, more and more people making these rings as their preferred choices, the production is increasing, resulting in lower prices. Now, you are more likely to purchase them cheaper than ever before.
Celebrities too have show interest. Recently Tom Cruise presented a ring with rose gold crown to Katie Holmes. Thus these rings are now being more common and prices are down than before.
While shopping for rose gold engagement rings, search the jeweler’s shop or internet as much as you can. More searching will lead you to accurate ring in terms of design, hues and pricing.

Flower shop roses are dying so soon………..?
Okay my fiance just got me a vase bouquet of roses on Friday and they had not get bloomed at the time (still “shut”). Today is Sunday, and the roses are already dying!!! I know roses don’t really last too long, but this seems like they’re wilting way to fast; and they never even opened!! Should I call the flower shop where he bought them?
hi kelsey.
recently someone asked a similar question. i’ll post my answer to them here and hope it helps.
but i would return the roses to the florist and ask for replacements. these flowers should DEFINITELY not be wilting if they are good quality roses.
when you get your replacement ones, follow the instructions below and you should have lovely blooms for a week or so.
cheers!

QUESTION (from samantha): I received a bouquet of flowers today… BUT…? like all other times… it didn’t come with a packet of its food… So… I wanted to know… can I throw sugar cubes in its vase?
ANSWER: lucky you, receiving a bouquet of flowers!
and yes, you can do the sugar thing (not too much) or you can add seven-up or sprite to the water (it’s the sugar in that that is good), or an aspirin …although i don’t why…
but the best thing you can do is just put a 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in atleast one litre of water.
it discourages the organisms that can clog the stems and make the flower stalk unable to take up water… thus shortening the life of the flower considerably.
i come from a european family that bought flowers every week with their groceries. flowers were as important as buying milk and bread. i still do that and i still do the bleach thing. i do it because it works! i’ve experimented and there’s no doubt that it does lengthen the amount of time the cut flowers stay fresh and turgid and beautiful.
and yes, definitely cut the stems again, and every two or three days thereafter when you refresh the water. depending on what kind of flowers, you should cut the stems on an extreme angle (diagonally – so it has the greatest water uptake surface) and do so under water or under the tap if possible. this makes sure that the stem does not dry up at all and subsequently block the water uptake capabilities.
if you really want to be anal about it, you can put the flowers somewhere cool at night or when you’re not home. the warmth of the sun and home also shortens the enjoyment span of the flowers.
long answer, but these are the tips that i think are invaluable.
enjoy your flowers!
