How do we keep roses fresh?

Answer 1

You can use aspirin, a penny, hairspray, bleach, or the florist packet that comes with flowers to keep cut flowers fresh. They all work pretty well. Also, using mouthwash works great. My class did a test on this and putting protein powder and toothpaste doesn't work at all.

Answer 2

* Keep the vase filled or floral foam soaked with water containing a flower food. * If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely. * If possible, re-cut the flower stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife.

* Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in the water will promote bacterial growth, causing the flowers to wilt quickly. * Use warm water when adding water to the vase or refilling it. * Keep fresh flowers in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit), away from direct sunlight. * Avoid placing your flowers near heating or cooling vents, areas directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. * Appliances such as televisions and radiators give off heat, causing the fresh cut flowers to quickly dehydrate. * If you can't get your fresh cut flowers into a water and flower food solution right away, keep them in a cool place. * Fill a clean, deep vase with water and add the flower food, following the directions on the package. * Re-cut flower stems with a sharp knife. Do this underwater, in warm water. This allows the stems to draw in water instead of air. * Then place the fresh flowers in the vase solution you've prepared. * When using woody stems and branches (such as forsythia, quince or lilac), cut the flower stem with sharp pruning shears.
