How to revive cut roses in a vase for a long time. How to revive wilted flowers

Dear friends! Do you remember the children's rhyme?

"Gardener:
- I was born a gardener, I was seriously angry! I was tired of all the flowers except for the Rose.
Rose:
- Ah!
- What happened to you?
- In love!
- In whom?
- The gardener

Yes, the beauty of this flower fascinates, the aroma intoxicates, and the magnificence of shapes and colors delights! It is always a pleasure to receive a bouquet of roses as a gift! But it is not always possible to enjoy the beauty of these flowers for a long time, since the rose is quite capricious and the cut flowers fade quickly.
How to save a bouquet of roses at home or how to revive slightly drooping buds? The answer to this question will be useful to many.

How to revive roses? How to extend their lifespan?

In flower shops today you can find various means, which are added to a vase to extend the life of the bouquet. If at hand there was no such remedy, then you can always get by with home methods.

AT winter period time, bringing the roses home, do not rush to release the bouquet from the packaging - let them come to their senses a little, get used to the new environment.

How to save and revive a bouquet of roses?

In the water in which you are going to put the bouquet, add sugar and citric acid (for 1 liter of water we take a pinch citric acid and 20-30 grams of sugar). By the way, instead of citric acid, you can also use 9% vinegar by adding just 1 teaspoon per liter of water.

Then, free the stems from excess leaves and thorns and, under running water, cut them at an angle of about 45 degrees. Cover the cut with your finger and immediately lower the flower into a vase with prepared water. These manipulations prevent air from entering the fibers of the stem, which, forming an air gap, prevents the water from rising to a sufficient height, which makes it difficult for the flower to feed. Well, this is a well-known physical phenomenon!

Putting the bouquet in a vase with water, moisten its petals with a spray bottle.

In order for the bouquet to please for a long time, the flowers must be put in a bath with cool water at night. Tie the stems loosely and put some weight on them so that the buds can completely submerge under water.
In the morning we take out the flowers and put them in a vase with fresh water. It will not be superfluous to additional pruning of the stems.

Care, of course, is troublesome, but the beautiful rose is worth it.
At the first sign of wilting, you can revive the bouquet as follows.

Add 1 teaspoon of alcohol and 2 drops of ammonia to 1.5-2 liters of water. Instead of ammonia, you can add one tablet of aspirin.

Shock therapy.

I've never done this before, but I'll definitely try it!

We free the rose from excess leaves and thorns. Make the incision not at an angle of 45 degrees, but more so that it turns out to be as long as possible. Then we lower the rose into boiling water, so that the water covers the cut level by a few centimeters and keep the ends of the stems in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. (What a horror!) We take out and cut off the ends that we brewed, and then place the roses in a bath of cold water ! After 30-40 minutes, take it out, shake it slightly and put it in a vase! They say that after such a miracle procedure, roses will delight us for a few more days!

It should be noted that almost all cut varieties are perfectly preserved and are ideal for making bouquet compositions. For example, popular and amazing beautiful rose varieties "Wow" is very well transported, and is also able to stand in a vase for about two weeks, while maintaining its original, fresh look.

In order for a cut rose to stand in a vase and keep its freshness longer, the right prerequisites should be taken:

• it is important to carry out the correct selection, giving preference to the shoots on which the flowers have managed to acquire the final color and are ready for dissolution;
• it is required to carefully determine the “looseness” of the bud, since only buds with ajar lower petals are suitable for cutting;
• it is necessary to take into account the varietal characteristics of the flower, and cut non-double flowers immediately after the opening of the sepals;
• cutting densely mohr varieties should be carried out only when the bud is fully opened, and hybrid tea varieties cut off when opening buds by 30-40%;
• from each bush it is not recommended to cut off more than three shoots with buds at the same time, and only a well-sharpened and clean pruner or knife is used for cutting;
• It is best to cut in the early morning or in the evening.

It is best to store flowers after cutting in special refrigerators or in a dark and cool room, placing large containers with clean water, which will reduce the possibility of contact of the slices with air. A cut rose actively emits ethylene gas, which provokes rapid wilting, therefore, during storage, high-quality ventilation should be provided to the flowers.

To extend the life of a cut rose intended for long-term transportation, it is necessary to make a special solution based on a bucket pure water with 0.15 kg of sugar and add one gram of chinosol. By immersing cut flowers in the prepared composition, their shelf life can be extended up to two months. Packaging made of thin polyethylene also contributes to the long-term storage of roses.

Now there is nothing to lose, and you can move on to the most drastic measures. Talking about how to reanimate withered roses, there are four most effective means.

Number one is boiling water that is completely incompatible with natural flowers. Nevertheless, experienced florists advise him, exactly how last option. You will need boiling hot water.

After two minutes, the flowers can be removed, cut slightly above the burned area and placed in cold water.

It is this method that flower sellers often advise when they are asked how to reanimate roses, but because of its originality, not everyone decides on such a measure.

Under the second number, one can note the addition of saltpeter to the water (a teaspoon per 4 liters of water), a few drops of ammonia or chlorine (any cleaning agent). Such supplements can be made after the rejuvenation procedure with boiling water. They will help extend the life of the rose for a few more days.

Save forever

To do this, hang wilted roses upside down and let them dry thoroughly. Now you can cover them with spray paint and varnish. Delivered in beautiful vase they will fit into any interior.

If the newly presented roses wilted

This means that you have received stale flowers that have already been subjected to various tricks in order to preserve their presentation.

Frozen roses also wither quickly. In this case, it is difficult to say how to reanimate roses, because each of the methods may have no effect or have a short-term effect. Try soaking them in the bath at night, and if that doesn't help, use boiling water in the morning.

Brief conclusions

Fresh roses with proper care can stand in a vase for about a month. To do this, change the water regularly, watch temperature regime and the absence of drafts. With the first signs of wilting, start applying a night bath, this will extend the life of the flowers for a few more weeks.
