the number one and most effective way to make your roses (oer any cut flowers) last very very long time is to put them in a refrigerator, before you go to bed at night. You will not believe how much longer they will last.

[@AuthorJanaeMarie]

Si mon really? I saw my job put flowers in the fridge. I thought that was a bit strange. Now I know why. Thank you

[@nazikmalak5801]

With or without water?

[@LTV249]

How about putting them in the freezer?

[@ElverGalarga-tw4cc]

Thank you.

[@zumieskitchen730]

Nice tips

[@Cedesthegemini]

I also sometimes spray them with water and they won’t get dry and brittle

[@EddyIeedaug]

OMG I just came here to check out how to preserve some roses & low & behold who's commented? Why none other than Rebecca Robeson ;-), small world. I never knew about the aspirin or the 7-up, sounds like some sort of a hangover cure to me never mind flower nourishment ;-P, who'd of guessed that the things you'd need to really make your flowers pop, are soda pop & some pills to pop!? There's rain coming here, hopefully not too much & hopefully I'll be able to try this out soon! Thanks Allen & EHow

[@hi-yiwongmanous3081]

The steam turned brown bout time i noticed almost the entire steam brown and the bottom where i cut it is gray dont know what went wrong

[@vega5549]

What lemon lime soda did you use ?

[@johnpatrickfay5288]

Any brand, the sugar feeds..

[@C.R.M.17]

[@geoquiroz5333]

Would dr pepper work?

[@perezstowers8509]

Tried it..🤦🏿‍♂️ roses died before sunrise 😭😂😅

[@dmoranism]

So we don't cut them?

[@pandaoneproductionsd9765]

Should I add bleach if I’m using the nutrient packages?

[@tiasinspirationalcorner]

[@lilyakintore7306]

If you talk about sugar…. Does it mean that salty water isn’t good for roses ?

[@lowerheikns]

salty water isn't good for anything besides saltwater fish

[@thebeyonderisop6637]

Could I use an advil or Tylenol instead?

[@lisamanning586]

You forgot cut bottom of steam in an angle

[@billypeacock9653]

if I don't happen to have bleach can I use ammonia

[@funesjudith7234]

Billy Peacock absolutely not.

[@42Ccastro]

Use a penny that's made before 1982

would sprite work?....

[@xXSarahXx702]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@apdpta]

@@xXSarahXx702 it works

[@erika92]

I've never saw anyone use that much water. I'm confused

[@lexochewie1163]

Bleach?!

[@jordanjones5575]

I believe pre-made flower food packets also have bleach in them

[@black-catmusic3619]

I used Redbull and the next morning they flew away.

[@hareemtahir2295]

Lollllll 😝

[@dalegarbutt3775]

[@alfredflores1278]

What about sprite?.. with aspirin Ana tea spoon of bleach??????

[@SasaKowloon]

I would like to know too

[@overallgreatidea6433]

These helpful videos never conduct a simple controlled experiment. Perhaps bloom turgidity is affected by nothing but hydrostatic pressure.

[@lilyakintore7306]

You didn’t say how long they lasted.

[@Christopher-jp5zo]

Give it some pills

[@doorveshsantbakshsing9607]

Welp - it's that time of the year haha
