Under the Weather
My roses are beginning to wilt. I've been good about watering them and trimming them occasionally, but they're still under the weather. I did a little research on the care of cut roses and it turns out that day or so they spent out of water probably did most of the damage. Being cut out of water allows air to travel up their stems and blocks the absorption of nutrients and water. So I recut them under water and let them soak so the air bubbles would leave. They look a little perkier, but they're still ragged around the edges.I'm not sure if they'll survive 'til Friday. I think its probably time to research proper drying techniques.
