I have a rose at the moment, and I really don't want it to die. At the same time, I don't want to have to go to the store to buy flower food (unless it's my only option.)
Is there anything I could use around the house or something to keep it alive?
Any ingredient to make flower food for the rose?
I heard cold water might do, but it's not exactly helping. It's still living, but slowly dying.

Is this a cut rose?, if so cut the stem diagonally and place it on a water vase, don't use cold water, it will ruin the rose, if the rose is planted just keep watering it and avoid low temperatures..☺

Others have made good suggestions; especially raynwater.
Old bananas or banana peels are especially good placed at the base of a rose; they appreciate the potasium. I also put a small amount of ash from my fireplace around their base. And, I plant garlic in the vicinity to ward off bugs.
One can make Manure Tea as fertilizer: Use cow, horse or chicken manure, placed in a cloth bag; Submerge the bag in water [I use 5-gallon bucket], let
stand for a day or two, during which time the manure will steep, making Manure Tea!
I hope you weren't referring to a cut rose stem....

Never put a cut rose in cold water.Matter of fact never use cold water on any plants.They don't like it.Put half an asprin, and a little sugar in the vase,and every-day trim a little off the bottom of the rose,mine has lasted two weeks that way.

If the rose is planted in the ground: coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells, mulch with leaves.
If the rose is in a pot: Miracle gro
If the rose is cut and in a vase, it may last a week.

i agree: nix the cold water- room temp is always good. make sure the bottom of the stem is cut at an angle. sugar/aspirin as suggested is ok; sprite/H2O; a birth control pill, even. all these have proven to be affective. change the water at least every 2 days. oh! if you use the BC pill, keep your count!

you do not could deliver a thank you notice for a sympathy card. yet while they wrote something own/supportive interior it fairly is advisable to deliver one. It desire not be complicated or long in any respect. The newspaper theory is stable to. That way it is going to cover each physique who sent taking part in cards and notes of sympathy without you having to deliver dozens of thank yous. for my section, as quickly as I deliver a letter of condolence, i don't anticipate a thank you on condition that it's always the final factor you prefer to do after dropping a family contributors member. you're able to easily thank them in individual once you notice them and keep your self the hardship.

the easiest is to place lipton tea bags (new or used) on the soil around the flowers and cover it with leafs.
