How to Revive Wilted Roses

As beautiful as roses are, they do have a certain vulnerability that is common for every flower. They are prone to sag, droop and wilt after a few days exposure in a vase. Here are some tips for reviving wilted roses.

Take your roses from the vase.
Separate the roses, but keep them emerged in luke warm water as you do it.
Make a fresh cut on the stem, again while it remains in the water because you don't want to get air into the stem.
Take each flower, one by one and roll them in newspaper and close the paper with a rubber band to keep it from unrolling.
Put each rose while still wrapped in the newspaper in a sink or tub filled with water and let them soak for several hours while still separate.
Once they have soaked, unwrap them carefully, and place them in a vase of fresh warm water.
If you want to preserve the health of your roses, put some 7up in the water to help prevent any bacteria that can clog up the stem.

Extra tip: Roses droop for one of two reasons: either they had been cut too early when put into the vase or they may have been out of water too long before putting them into the vase.
