Cut a bit off the stems under running water before you put them in the vase. And I understand that aspirin dissolved in the water helps too. Good luck!

After they are cut, some flowers just don't last long and there isn't too much you can do. The best thing is to cut them early in the morning when they are freshest. Cut the bottoms again when you get them in the house. Cut roses under water so that you don't lose the water bubble at the bottom of the stem that lets them take in water. Change the water every day and cut a little bit off the stems. It does help to add a small bit of an aspirin to the water too. And keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight.
