RE: Cut roses wilting quickly...

I haven't put anything in the water, although I seem to remember aspirin
and sugar being suggested.  I usually cut what I want and then take them
inside to put them in water (maybe 5 or 10 minutes).  I'll definitely
try taking water out with me.

		Greg:

		Sounds like it may be something you're putting in the
water to extend their
		vase life?
		If they look just as they should before you're cutting
them and the other
		blooms
		on the plant are fine, then it could be something
between the cutting and the
		final
		trip into the vase.  Was the vase used for anything
other than flowers?  Have
		you
		tried taking a bucket of water out with you when cutting
and plunging them
		immed-
		iately into the water?  What a mystery - let us know
what the answer is when
		you
		solve this puzzle.
