If you mean fresh cut roses - just add instant aspirin ( 2 tablets) or something like this or even vodka. Yes 50 ml of pure clean vodka - it will help roses to suck water with their stems immediately and they will leave 2-3 days more. Also flowers shop sell special product to add to water ( it is really cheap) and flowers will live in such water 30-50% more.

Your question is not clear. If you are asking about growing roses then you need to adjust your soil conditions to more of an acidic soil, cut the roses back every year and fertilize with special roses fertilizer. If you are asking about cut roses lasting longer then I would suggest every couple of days cutting the tip that goes into the water off a little and they will last a few days longer than normal.

they only last a good couple of days unless of course they are fresh fresh then maybe a week with care and changing the water and re cutting the stems at least every other day. Plant food also helps
