What is the blade length on these?

The blade length is 60mm (6cms).

Are these suitable for orchids?

These snips have proved to be suitable for all light cutting and plant trimming work. The blades are of high quality steel and stay sharp with a minimum of care. I would expect these snips to be quite suitable for orchids.

Country of manufacture?

The Darlac literature says 'The company has been based in the Slough area since its inception and in August 2017 was purchased by Mr Fothergill’s Seeds - another great British, family owned gardening company. ' On the product it says the blades are made of Japanese steel. Sorry - as I no longer have the original packaging, that is as helpful as I can be!

Are these suitable for dead heading roses?

Very much so I am a professional gardener and use them for this purpose in fact I have 2 pairs. They are not heavy duty Iwould say they will happily cut up to 3/8 inch thick but ideal for rose or flower dead heading. Hope this helps
