How do I keep my red roses alive?

I got some red roses 5 days ago, they’re starting wilt. I put in the water the preservative that came with them. Since then I added some water. They’re wilting more everyday, i don’t know how to deal with flowers. What should I do about them? They’re really pretty.

    Add alittle sugar to the water. Trim the bottoms on an angle

    If they are plants, keep them watered. Plants will go through a period of shock when transplanted. Roses are hardy. They should snap out of it. Don’t over feed them with chemicals trying to save them.

    If they are simply long stems, go with the answer above. Honey works even better than sugar

    clip the bottoms and add an aspirin to the water
    you’ll get a few extra days out of them

    Instead of putting the preservative in the water, add an aspirin or a little sprite or 7up. My roses usually last about 9 days before I see any sign on wilting. Also, when buying your roses, make sure you check them for wilting. Stores sometimes pluck off wilting petals.

    Cut the ends and put them in hot water.
    You could dry them out (before they are done) and admire them a bit longer.
