Rosen brauchen helle Köpfe und kühle Füße

This is the title of an article about a product that lets the light into greenhouses but also keeps the heat out. So roses need light but not excessive heat. Can anyone help me with a snappy title?

Roses need their heads in the light and the feet in the shade
finally it has come to me!

roses - bright heads and cool feet
How about just leaving "brauchen" out?

Let the sun in, keep the heat out for happier roses
Keep your roses smiling with more light and less heat.

roses prefer bright light but not too much heat
how about this variation?

"Keep it cool" is a play on words. :)

Warm heads, cool feet. Optimum conditions for your roses
I was thinking of the phrase "cold hands, warm heart". Perhaps an alternative would be "cool and bright; optimum conditions, etc". Faint echos of the lyrics to Edelweiss? (Clean and bright...bless my homeland forever!)...I suppose you could go a bit mad and say "cool and bright; bless my roses forever". Depends if you want more work from your client!

Rosen need to be enlightened above, and cool below
if you want to keep some of the word play...
