ocr: STAGE TO CUT SEPALS SEPALS DOWN READYTOCUT SEPALS UNFURLING - - - - SEPALS SEPALS grow like leaves from just under the rose- bud to cover its tip. Sepals unfurl and arch downward to signal that a bloom is ready to be cut. If the sepals aren't down, or if the bud isn't "cracked," - the bloom won't open after it is cut from the bush.
