1). Pull the drooping blooms from the vase. If you have a large bouquet of roses, remove only the roses that are drooping, leaving the others in the water.
2). Trim the stems. With your garden shears, snip off about an inch of the rose's stem at an angle of 45 degrees.
3). Put the stem back into water. According to Worldwide Flowers Direct, in 30 seconds, an air bubble can form at the cut end of a rose's stem, preventing the rose from taking up water. Use a timer if you have to, but return the newly trimmed stem to the water within half a minute of cutting it.
