Operating and Display
Your LEGO Roses are designed for both interactive adjustment and static display.

- Adjustable Leaves and Petals: The green leaves and red petals can be gently repositioned to create different looks, from a tightly closed bud to a fully open bloom.
- Display Options: Place your LEGO Roses in a vase for a vibrant, lasting floral arrangement. They can also be combined with other LEGO Botanical Collection sets, such as LEGO Tulips (40461) or the LEGO Flower Bouquet (10280), to create a larger, more diverse display.

Maintenance
LEGO bricks are durable and require minimal maintenance to keep them looking their best.
- Cleaning: To clean your LEGO Roses, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with clean water and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not on display, store your LEGO Roses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or with your completed LEGO Roses, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Missing Pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, please visit the official LEGO customer service website to request replacement parts. You will typically need the set number (40460) and the part number (found in the back of the instruction manual).
