I had taken one to my 1st grader at school and had fixed it all up in a vase for her. The other 2 I gave to the girls in their plastic outer wrap and then just stuck them in a big vase afterwards.
What I finally realized was that I had cut the end of the stem on the one I sent to the school, and had forgotten to with the others...therefore, my accidental experiment came about.
This may not be a huge realization to most, but I hadn't ever seen the difference for myself. And if you haven't either, here it is.
The one on the left had its stem clipped and the other 2 didn't. |

You know what? I snipped those Law Wives roses AFTER they looked dead and brown and they perked right up! I couldn't believe it. So we've been doing that to roses ever since.
