Arrange theroses byfilling a vase with cool water and mix in the floral preservative. Fill a sink or bowl with water and, using a knife or shears, cut an inch from the bottom of the stem while holding it underwater. Remove the foliage that may fall below the waterline to help keep the waterclear. Place roses, loosely yet evenly spaced, in the vase. Place the vase in a cool spot.
