Party roses in action: Nero arranged to have rose petals rain down from the ceiling of his banquet halls during lavish dinner parties in Rome.
Cut the stems:If you receive flowers in a box or tissue, remove all of the foliage that falls below the water line, then cut the stems with a sharp knife in a sink full of warm water. Be sure to cut the stems under the water and place them immediately into a vase of warm water mixed with the floral food provided by your florist. Street decoration: Rose petals would be thrown all over the streets during Roman public games.
