Do you often get bouquets of roses, or do you buy cut flowers to decorate the apartment? Maybe you have your own garden that supplies you with beautifully scented decorative flowers. Whatever the source of roses, you will surely want to keep them in weight as long as just cut. A surprising preparation will help.
The roses brighten up every room and give it to attraction and some subtleness. The disappointment of their rapid stroke is usually large and we want to delay it as much as possible. But roses do not have to fit within a few days, or perhaps even hours. All you need is a medicine tablet you have at home or other helpers.

Aspirin is not just on fever
When we talk about the medicine, we mean aspirin, which you may use to relieve headaches, but also when you need to knock a fever. Just as well as this tablet will also serve roses, although the flower is most likely not hurt.
Why?
Why is this happening? Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, which reduces pH of water and thus counteracts the propagation of bacteria. The bacteria are the cause of the “shameless” stem, which is pulled out of untreated water after a few days. Such a coating only closes the blood vessels, which even cut flowers can soak up water for several days. This is actually the whole secret of aspirin. It seems simple, but perhaps that’s why it is all the more effective.
Prepare a medicinal drink
If you want to use this trick, one tablet per liter of water will be enough. It is best to crush it first and pour aspirin powder into the water. But if you throw the tablet into the water, it will dissolve too, you just have to wait a while and mix well. In such a solution, the roses will be good and will make you happy for a long time…
Natural method without chemistry
The sworn opponents of chemical preparations and drugs of all kinds probably choose a different way to prolong their life by their lives after their lives. Sugar and vinegar – seemingly two contradictory ingredients will be enough. But once we connect them, there is a miraculous wire that will welcome the roses with open arms. While sugar will take care of their nutrition, vinegar will (as well as aspirin) fight bacteria. But water needs to be changed daily.
In the right ratio …
How much vinegar and sugar to offer? We must not overdo it, but one smaller teaspoon of both ingredients in a liter of water can be put. At that moment we will make an ideal environment in which roses last for a long time.
There are other tricks
There are other small tricks to help. For example, did you know that you should not leave leaves at the bottom of the stem that will be submerged in water? The larger the area is soaked, the more and faster the harmful bacteria can multiply in the water, the leaves will rot, the water will “spoil” and the roses will reach their definitive end.
Florists’ tricks
Florists recommend putting roses in warm water after bringing them from the store. Indeed – to warm (not hot) water. This, as well as the oblique cutting of the end of the stem with a really sharp knife, or add a few drops of bleach to the water, will take care of the beautiful decoration of the apartment for a long time. Will you try it too, perhaps with the next bouquet of roses?
