Rose thorn removers are an essential floristry tool for preparing fresh roses quickly and efficiently. Designed to remove thorns and unwanted foliage from stems, rose strippers help make flower preparation easier for professional florists, floristry students and anyone working with fresh-cut roses.
Rose Thorn Removers
Rose strippers, also known as thorn removers or dethorners, quickly and safely remove thorns and lower foliage from stems. Our range includes a metal rose stripper in zinc silver, developed for Australian florists, and a handy foliage remover in yellow, made from a strong rubbery plastic that sits in the palm of your hand. The foliage remover is available as a single or a pack of three, ideal when you’re learning floristry. As an Australian brand trusted by florists for over 90 years, we deliver reliable, quality florist supplies Australia-wide.
How do you remove thorns from roses?
To remove thorns from roses, wrap a rose stripper around the stem just below the head and pull down and away from the bloom. This strips the thorns and lower foliage in one pass. Use light pressure on delicate stems, and choose a metal stripper or foliage remover depending on the job.
