Cut roses wilting quickly...

I have several rose bushes which I use for cut flowers.  It is great
having them around the house all summer long!  I even bring one to work
regularly.

This year, they seem to be behaving strange though.  If I get a well
developed bud, instead of opening up and then wilting, it just kind of
goes limp as a bud.  In past years, I could keep them around for a week
or more (even two weeks sometimes).  This year, within a couple of days,
every one of them is hanging limp in the vase.  And again, they don't
even open up.  

Could this be from a lack of something in the soil? Cutting them wrong?
...?  I'm at a loss.
