Question
my cut roses are not opening. Do you have any suggestions? have tried adding some warm water to the vase.
thank you for any help or suggestions

Answer
Hi, Catherine--first, recut the stems, taking a half inch or so off, on a slant in a sink full of warm water, cutting under the water.  Place the stems immediately in a fresh vase of warm water, with perhaps a little cut flower food added.  You can buy this separately, or sometimes a little packet comes with the flowers.  Set the vase in a spot that is sunny but not too hot.  This should help those buds open.  Repeat this process every 2-3 days to ensure the longest life for the blooms.  Hope this helps!
