HOW TO MAKE YOUR CUT 
ROSES LAST LONGER 
The best time to cut roses is evening 
or early morning. Cut just above a 
leaf, taking a stem no longer than you 
really need. Immediately plunge the 
stem (up to the flower head) in warm 
water and let it stand an hour or two. 
Choose the vase or bowl you want to 
use, and strip from the flower stem all 
leaves that will be below water level 
in the container. Scrape the bark for 
an inch at the end of the stem, fill the 
container with cold water, and arrange 
the flowers as you wish.
