When cutting roses, cut about one-fourth inch 
above an outside bud, leaving three or four buds of 
the new wood. Cut double roses when the outer 
petals begin to unfurl; singles when the sepals begin 
to open. Split or mash the ends of the stems and 
plunge into deep water. Leave in a cool place over 
night, but out of the wind.
