I have a science project on roses. It's to find out which rose will live the longest, the rose cut horizontally or sideways. Also if it will live longer with leaves or not. Any sites I can look on for reasearch on plants??? I need a lot of research!!!!!

By experience, I know roses live the longest if cut sideways, cutting at 45 degree angle so they don’t sit flat on the bottom of the vase, for better water absorption. They also live longer if with leaves, as leaves help to feed the bloom. But be sure to remove leaves which touches the water on the vase as they rot and make the life of rose shorter.☺

it wil live longer with leaves. leaves provide energy for the flower through photosynthesis. as for which way it is cut, i believe the horizontally cut one will live longer.

Ask your mom from her experience in receiving roses from your dad when they were dating!!!
