This procedure is carried out in such a way that the channels passing inside the stem do not get air, which can block these moves. Then access to the flower of water and oxygen will be blocked, which will speed up their wilting.
For the flowers to stand longer in the water, after trimming, it is recommended that the cross-section of the stem is cut three centimeters further crosswise along the stem, thereby increasing the area that the rose can absorb the nutrient fluid.

The container for roses must be spacious, deep, so that the stem is submerged in water more than half. Also, care should be taken to ensure that flowers are not affected by cold or heat, direct sunlight or drafts. The optimum temperature for them is from 18 to 22 degrees Celsius.
