ABSTRACT:
A rose stem stripper according to the present invention is accomplished by two metal arms including a base, a handle with looped gripping projections and a pair of jaws laterally offset from the handle. The metal arms are pivotally attached to each other at their bases. A rose containing a stem is inserted between the pair of jaws where each jaw has a V-shaped opening with a sharpened edge in order to overlap and form a generally diamond-shaped opening allowing only the rose stem to pass and thereby remove thorns and foliage. The handle of the rose stem stripper being offset from the jaws is gripped via the looped gripping projections and squeezed so that the sharpened edges of the V-shaped openings in the jaws move toward each other and encompass the rose stem. The rose stem stripper then traverses the rose stem, with the handle and hand implementing the rose stem stripper laterally offset from the rose stem, to accomplish stripping without obstructing the rose stem and by utilizing on-axis force components relative to the rose stem.
