Double Bubble features a 12-stem mix of pink Ontario-grown peonies and roses (6 stems of each), arranged as a 360-degree bouquet. Sourced directly from our trusted growers, rest assured they're the most extraordinary blooms around!
Canadian peonies grow locally in Ontario in April-July.
Peonies start as buds shaped like ice cream scoops and bloom into large flowers with ruffled layers of petals and a delightful fragrance. Our peonies are delivered in more closed buds as they are fresh from the grower, so you can enjoy them for as long as possible! Warmer water can accelerate the opening of the flowers should you wish for them to bloom faster. Once bloomed, peonies tend to have a shorter than average lifespan, but it’s their fleeting beauty that makes them so special!
The roses in the bouquet are a garden-style variety that is naturally softer with ruffled petals. This is completely normal and what makes this variety so unique!
Your bouquet is safely wrapped in a hydration bag and packaged in our signature carrying carton, keeping it fresh until you put them in a vase. See our recommended instructions below to best care for your flowers.
To maximize the life of your hand-tied bouquet:
Unwrap your flowers and remove the hydration pack and tie.
Guard petals (slightly blemished or discoloured outer petals) on the roses are intentionally left on as they protect the bloom during transit. They can be easily removed, if you wish, though we often prefer to leave them intact as they add character and make the rose open nicer!
You may notice some blemishes on the outer petals of the peonies - this is totally normal and will not affect their overall health. Once the flower opens, these petals will go to the underside, making the blemishes unnoticeable.
Fill a clean vase with room temperature water and add a sprinkle of the provided flower food. Hang onto the package for future waterings.
Trim the stems for best water absorption, remove the tie and place flowers in the vase.
Change/add fresh water daily, adding a sprinkle of flower food to the water each time to prolong the life of your blooms.
Keep the flowers in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like an oven or radiator).
Some flowers will bloom faster than others and at different times. Remove stems as they expire to keep the others blooming bright!
Peonies may arrive with sap on the buds that may prevent them from opening; this can be removed with warm water.
If some peonies are not blooming, a gentle massage will help them open.
This bouquet contains flowers that are harmful to pets if ingested so be sure to keep out of reach from your furry friend!
