how long do roses last?

[zixxer]

I want to buy my g/f roses this afternoon (around 2 or 3pm..) will they last till tommorow around 3 or 4?

What type of care do they need?

they'll last from 3 to 12 days, depending on freshness, if you keep the weater fresh, use rose food, and the temperature where they are kept...

if you want them to last that long, before presenting, keep them in the fridge, and be sure the florist puts those little water vials on them.

they will probably start wilting within 3 days... not very long for something htat is supposed to symbolize love... but then again, if 3 days isn't long enough to get laid then it doesn't really matter for you.

Just buy fake ones.

I'm not buying my girlfriend roses this year. I am getting her many little gifts. These gifts will bring her more joy and will last longer than a week - if her cats don't attack them first.

Roses are quite ephemeral in the grand scheme of things.

Funny how women attach importance to the most arbitrary things. Diamonds, for example: Overpriced chunks of crystalline carbon cut to reflect light in a sparkling fashion. Roses; flowering plants that exude a sweet aroma, yet quickly fall into decay and rot.

I think I'll just wake up early and buy them tomorrow morning.. but afraid they'll all be gone... or only the dying ones left.

that is a huge range, i guess on average they last like 4-5 days.

Yep, guys just want a chunk of steel, a tribute to their masculinity.

I've found that roses from a florist tend to last a lot longer than from a "regular" store like Harris Teeter (a grocery store). But my wife likes carnations better, and they last a lot longer.
