Flowers Kept Fresh By Sugar In Experiments At Rennes
Two Rennes University professors tested 100 flowers to study extending life of cut blooms. Sugar prolonged freshness for many species but harmed lilies and sweet peas, and hastened opening of roses and orchids while not affecting tulips, daisies, or chrysanthemums. Carnations preferred 15 percent sugar, roses 8 to 10 percent. Other agents like chloral ether glycerin alcohol limewater and ammonia salts lengthened life in some cases. Florists' Exchange adds a tip to clean wallpaper with cotton batting.
