With the roses being most popular flower delivered for Valentine's Day, here are some tips for how to make them last longer.
| | Display your roses in a shaded, cool location |
| | Keep leaves out of the water; if you have to remove some leaves, take care not to injure the stem by scraping the stems |
| | Keep the water fresh by changing it every two days; put flower food in with the new, fresh water; use lukewarm water |
| | When changing the water, cut the stems (cleanly) under water at a 45 degree angle by using a sharp knife or scissors; cutting an inch off the stem is best |
| | Remove discolored or dropping petals from your roses to freshen them up |
| | If the rose wilts, submerge the whole flower and stem into a large sink full of warm water; while under water cut about an inch off the stems, and leave them there for about two hours |
