Yes, cutting the stems of roses is important for their health and longevity. Trimming the stems at an angle helps improve water absorption and prevents the stems from sitting flat on the bottom of the vase. It’s best to cut them just before placing them in water and to remove any leaves that would be submerged to prevent bacterial growth.

Why do roses die within a week?

Roses typically die within a week due to a combination of factors such as improper care, lack of water, and exposure to ethylene gas from ripening fruits or vegetables.

Providing fresh water, trimming the stems, and keeping them in a cool environment can help extend their lifespan.
