What should she do? Should she call the flower shop to report this? She doesn't want to hurt his feelings by returning them. I told her they would probably replace them, but is there special care to keep them fresh longer?
I have a friends who's finance brought her a dozen roses for Valentine's Day and their already wilted.
Make sure that all the foliage has been stripped from the stem so that no leaves are actually in the water. Cut a bit off the stem at an angle then either crush the bottom bit of the stem or snip into it about quarter or an inch. Then place in very hot water for about 2 minutes. Then place in ordinary water with rose feed and that should do the trick. If all fails contact the florist and complain. Good Luck
Reply:put a asprin or sugar or lemonade in the water should bring them back to life if not then report to the shop
Reply:if the blooms are droopy- lay them in a tub of water - like your bathtub. this will revive the part of the stem just below the blossom. and cutting the stems under water will help, too.
Reply:Make sure you use flower food and cut an inch off the bottom of them. Thats what my florist told me to tell my girlfriend.

Reply:There are a couple things that may have happened to roses....cold weather may have killed them or maybe the roses went without water too long.
If her fiance delivered her the roses himself ...he may be to blame....but I would still call flower shop and let them know that the roses died immediately. They may replace them.
If she gets new roses....keep them wrapped up good to protect them from cold. Take them out of wrapper and use sharp knife and cut about an inch off bottom of stem. Cut at an angle. Put in water/floral mix right away. The greenhouse should have provided a packet of fresh flower soluable mix for water. If not ...add a little 7up (soda) to water. Change water every other day. I always recut my roses at that time. They should last a week or more.
