Water Change the water every second day. What is the best way to preserve my roses?
Preserving an entire bouquet Tie the roses together with a ribbon and hang them upside down for two weeks. After the two week drying period, spray the bouquet with hairspray to ensure stability. Drying with Silica Gel For dried roses that have the appearance of live roses, use the Silica Gel drying method. Silica Gel is available in most Craft and Hobby stores. Follow the instructions on the package.
