Here’s a tip for you…although the freshness is gone shortly after you get the rose, you can preserve it and keep it as long as you want. When the petals start to get dry, the bloom starts to droop, and the leaves turn a bit brown on the edges, take the rose out of the water. Give it a final clip without the water. Hang it upside down somehow. I usually tie a sewing thread around the bottom of the stem and then pin it to the wall. Remember to support it with the stem, not the leaves. Leave it until it’s completely dry, from several days to a full week. Depending on the strength and size of the bloom, you can put it back into a clean, dry vase for decoration. (Heavy blooms can snap tiny stems.) Surprisingly, the bloom will not turn brown. Red roses turn deep burgundy, and white blooms turn into a dirty cream color. I kept my white rose wedding bouquet for five years, until my little one got a hold of it!! LOL

Hope this helps.
Blessings

ps I’ve heard of the aspirin, but have never tried it. That’s what my Mom used to use, but she didn’t clip the stem every day. I can’t remember how long her blooms lasted.
