About the flowers
Garden rose
Garden roses have far more petals than ordinary roses and many are scented. They open quickly in a warm room.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Peony
Bought in bud, peonies open over two or three days into huge blooms. Short season, roughly April to June in the UK.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Orchid
Cut orchids last a remarkably long time. Keep them away from fruit bowls; ripening fruit shortens their life.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
Calla lily
Smooth, sculptural and long lasting. Callas prefer a little water rather than a deep vase.
Lasts 7 to 14 days
