When you buy a rose should u take the leaves off the stem before you give it to someone?

when you buy a red long stem rose should you remove the leaves that are on the stem? what about the green leaves right below the pedals?

leave the leaves on! it looks odd without them and most people enjoy looking at them, why on earth would u want to take them off? well if its dying then i can see y but if not leave them be.
Reply:You can take the leaves off the stem, but it looks better if you keep the top two leaves closest to the bloom. It is better to nip the thorns all off. A little more user friendly. And with a nice ribbon or bow.
Reply:I wouldnt remove anything but the thorns!
