Hi, I finally have enough roses to start cutting some and bringing them inside. However, many have drooped in 24-48 hours. Am I cutting them wrong? Should I do anything with the water? Help

When you bring your roses in the house, recut the stems under water. This ensures there are no air bubbles in the stem.

There is a large list of additives said to prolong cut roses. In my experience changing the water every couple of days and reclipping the stems works well too.

Good luck

What do you add to the water after cutting and bringing inside?
