A recent TV show I saw said that roses last based upon how cold they were stored in shipping and storage.

hello Julie, you know this subject came up at our dinning table today , My niece had just made a comment on how nice my roses where , and how long they had lasted 2 week´s . A gift from my 14 yr old son. How do you keep them so long ? she asked Change the water every 2 day´s .and add a half of an aspirin and sometime´s a little tonic water , they seem to like it . She said that she had just been to a florist to buy flower´s for her mother ,& the lady said if you add a spot of bleach to the water it stop´s the stalks from going Green . so I will try that one as well . True what they say ,you learn something new every day

i find flowers last a lot longer if you add some lemonade to the water! sounds mad but really works for me.

cut the ends at a slant under water, use the 'food' that comes with them, don't place them in a place too warm or too bright. That's about it

cut the edges and disolve some sugar in the water before you put the roses in..
