Cutting Roses For A Bouquet

I have tea roses in my garden to use in bouquets for our church altar to aid in worship. I cut the roses in the morning, sometimes a few days before I use them. I let them stand in water a few hours before I refrigerate them. This hardens them and makes them last longer. I added Sweet William and daisy to make this bouquet complete. I often share my flowers with shut-ins and rest homes.
