Now, a little heads-up on handling this pink perfection – because Dr Alexander Fleming is packed with layered, luxurious petals, it loves to open quickly once it feels the warmth of your workshop. If you're prepping for a big weekend event and want to slow things down, keep the stems somewhere cool, dark, and dry. When you are ready to condition them, trim the stems at an angle and pop them into clean water with a treatment like Pro 2 to keep that quick popping in check.

Give them a deep drink, and they'll reward you with layer after layer of unfolding loveliness.
