How to revive wilting roses in minutes with florist’s easy, natural trick

By staff6 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

If your roses have started to wilt, don’t worry – there’s a way to bring them back to life. A florist has shared a simple method to revive the flowers and it doesn’t involve any chemicals

It can be frustrating to buy a lovely bunch of roses, only to find that they wilt quickly. But they may be able to be saved, according to one expert. In a clip shared on the Floristry Market TikTok page, Emma from Lily & Bee, a professional florist, unveils a simple trick to perk up those drooping roses.

The best part? You won’t need any chemicals or flower food for this. Emma’s hack is incredibly straightforward. She explains that flowers can wilt overnight due to an airlock at the top of the stem, reports the Express.

Airlocks in flower stems hinder water absorption, leading to wilting. They form when air gets into the water-conducting vessels of the stem, especially after cutting.

This occurs because the cut stem creates a partial vacuum. When the cut end is exposed to air, atmospheric pressure forces air into the stem, forming the airlock.

So, to rejuvenate the roses, the airlock needs to be burst. To achieve this, Emma suggests the following:

In a bowl or bucket, pour roughly two and a half centimetres – or an inch – of boiling water.

Make a fresh cut to the end of the stem and then submerge the ends of the stems in the water for about five to ten seconds – you will see tiny bubbles coming to the surface. Emma clarifies that this will burst the airlock in the stem.

After the roses have been dipped in the boiling water, remove each flower from the water, cut a new, diagonal cut above the discoloured area that’s just been submerged, lay them down and straighten the head.

Grab a piece of brown paper or newspaper and carefully roll the rose up, ensuring the flower’s head remains perfectly upright. Secure the paper with a strip of tape to keep it in place.

Next, fill a bucket with cold water, submerge the roses, and let them sit for a few hours.

Emma reveals that this simple trick can bring wilted roses back to life, stating: “But you can’t do that if you’ve gone away for the weekend or something like that, but if it’s just overnight, that’s what it is, they’ve got an airlock.”
