RE: Cut roses wilting quickly...


This might of been said...but when I cut my roses outside, I recut them
inside the house under water.  This will remove the air bubble in the
plant to open a new draw for water.  Place your cut plants underwater
and cut the stem again underwater and see what happens. Of course you
don't need to place the whole plant underwater, just the stem which is
going to be cut.  After you have cut the stem, quickly remove the cut
items and place them in a vase with water.
