Y’all… My husband came home from out of town this weekend to see this new bunch of peach-colored roses where the “magic” red ones had been, and he asks, so the new roses didn’t last very long? I’m going, whaaa??? Three weeks! He’s going, “So you didn’t notice I bought you new ones last Wednesday?” Hahaha! :-). No, unfortunately. I thought the old ones had magically perked up and lasted a third week :-). At which point I replaced them with peach colored ones because, well, good roses cheap ! But it turns out, the second batch from another proprietor had only lasted one week, after the first had lasted 2 weeks and finally drooped a bit. Yay, Trader Joe’s for 2 weeks, plus! Boo, (other retailers’) roses!
