I’ve heard about aspirin for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve read about adding detergents to water. I wonder if this really helps?

Another proven method (I always use it) for preserving roses in a vase is to immerse them completely in a bath of cold water overnight. It refreshes roses very much and during the day the flowers remain vigorous for a long time.
