We ordered flowers for my granny’s funeral - it happened to be on the weekend with all the snow but China Rose were helpful and understanding. They made a beautiful bouquet that has lasted nearly two weeks as the funeral had to be postponed. Lovely quality and my granny would’ve loved them. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for flowers. Thank you so much 😊
These guys have NEVER let me down! Marion and Alana are always sooo helpful, and they're always able to do a same-day delivery, even if I call at lunchtime! Luckily, I live in Pewsey - I don't know if they offer a same-day service to surrounding areas.

Tips - Caring for your flowers once they are delivered
Placing your flowers in vase half to two thirds full with lukewarm water, will help closed buds to start opening.
- Be careful when un-wrapping a hand-tied bouquet as it is delivered in a water bubble to keep the flowers fresh.
- Arranging your flowers in cold water should be avoided as this can reduce the their life in the vase.
- Avoid puting flowers in metal or aluminium containers - glass is ideal. Keep your flowers in a cool location, away from draughts, direct heat or sunlight. Arrange once unwrapped
- Your flowers may take up to 24 hours after being placed in water to reach their full potential.
- Strip off all excess foliage and leaves below the water level to reduce any harmful bacteria within the water.
- Bacteria can block the stem and stop the flowers taking up the water.unwrap. Flowers like their stems trimmed. So, trim them, at an angle with a knife (rather than scissors) by an inch or so. When trimming stems, always cut at an angle of roughly 45degrees; this increases the surface area allowing your flowers to absorb more water.
- If a Rose starts to droop at the head, re-cut the stem, wrap the head in paper to support it upright and plunge 5cms of the stem into boiling water for about 30seconds. Cut the stem again and place in deep cold water for two hours.trim
Most orders are accompanied by a sachet of cut flower food which will encourage buds to open and help to prolong the life and beauty of your flowers. Top up regularly with water and flower food, removing any fading flowers. Ensure the floristry foam used in arrangements is moist and topped up daily; this helps to prolong the life and vibrancy of your arrangements.
