Why does this matter? In-season flowers are always fresher, last longer in the vase, and cost significantly less than out-of-season imported blooms. When you shop at a local Cincinnati florist like Amore Flowers, we'll always tell you what's peaking right now and help you build an arrangement that looks stunning and lasts.

This is the question we get asked most often at our Cincinnati shop — and the answers are simpler than most people expect. Follow these steps and your fresh flowers from Amore Flowers will consistently last 7–14 days:

• Re-cut stems at a 45-degree angle— Do this every 2 days under running water. A fresh diagonal cut dramatically increases water uptake. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears, never a dull knife that crushes the stem tissue.
• Use clean water with flower food— Change the water every 2 days. Always use the flower food packet included — it contains sugar (for nutrition), acidifier (to lower pH), and a biocide (to kill bacteria). This alone can double flower vase life.
• Remove all leaves below the waterline— Submerged leaves rot rapidly, creating bacteria that will clog your stems. Strip everything that would sit in the water before arranging.
• Keep flowers away from heat sources— Avoid placing them near heating vents, sunny windows (in summer), appliances, or fireplaces. Heat accelerates water loss and aging.
• Avoid ethylene exposure— Ripening fruit (especially bananas and apples) releases ethylene gas that rapidly ages flowers. Never display flowers near a fruit bowl.
• Refrigerate overnight if possible— Professional florists store flowers in coolers. If you have space, placing your vase in the fridge overnight can meaningfully extend vase life.

✦ OUR 7-DAY FRESHNESS GUARANTEEAmore Flowers guarantees every arrangement we deliver will last at least 7 days with basic care. If your flowers fail to meet that standard, contact us and we will replace them — no questions asked. This is our standing promise to every Cincinnati customer.

Sympathy and funeral flower choices carry deep meaning. In Cincinnati, the most commonly requested and traditionally appropriate funeral flowers are:

Lilies — Especially white stargazer and Casa Blanca lilies. They represent purity and the restored innocence of the soul. They remain the single most requested sympathy flower in our shop.

White roses — Convey reverence, purity, and a peaceful farewell. White spray roses work beautifully in standing sprays and casket arrangements.

Gladiolus — Traditional for standing funeral sprays; the tall, stately form makes them a natural choice for formal arrangements.

Chrysanthemums — In many cultures, chrysanthemums are exclusively funeral flowers. In American tradition, white mums are respectful and long-lasting.

Carnations — Highly versatile, extremely long-lasting (they don't wilt quickly in warm funeral home environments), and available in soft, appropriate tones.

For sympathy gifts delivered to a home rather than a funeral home, we recommend softer, living arrangements — potted orchids, peace lilies, or a garden-style mixed arrangement in calming whites, creams, and greens. These last far longer than cut flowers and give the grieving family something living to nurture.
