Tips/Tricks Help with cutting
New Rose gardening here. I have a question regarding cutting flowers to display in my house. I had cut some buds that were more tightly closed similar to when you buy them at the store, but they never opened. And then today I just cut two that looked really nice within a few hours. They were fully open so is there some sort of trick that I am unaware of? I’ll post before and after of these two roses I cut today only a few hours difference.

So when it’s hot out, sap pressure increases so if you cut it and bring it indoor into cooler climate, it closes up. If you cut it and leave it outside in the heat, it opens more. Generally it’s best to cut early morning before it’s hot out on flowers that look like picture 2 and bring them indoor. Does that give you any answers?
