RE: Cut roses wilting quickly...

Greg,

This is what is happening to her roses, too.  They don't have enough of
whatever (starch?) in the stems to support the buds.  My own roses, mostly
rugosas, are fine until the roses get old, and then some of them begin to
wilt while on the bush; however, the stems are short enough that they do
not wilt while in a vase.  The couple of hybrids I do have show the same
tendencies that yours does.

I do not know of a cure.  Anyone?
