How to recognise it

Rounded poppy-like buds opening to ruffled, double blooms resembling roses
Smooth, slightly waxy, oval-to-lance shaped grey-green leaves growing opposite on the stem
Branching stems with several buds and flowers per stalk
Thin, smooth, somewhat brittle stems that bruise easily
No significant scent

Care

Strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline and recut stems at an angle under clean water. Use fresh, clean water with flower food and keep away from ethylene sources such as ripening fruit. Stems are brittle, so handle gently to avoid snapping. Keep in a cool spot out of direct sun and draughts.
