Cold Water: Place your freshly trimmed flowers in a vase with cold water. Cold water helps slow down the aging process of the flowers by reducing the growth of bacteria and slow down the rate of water loss through the stems. Additionally , cold water can help to keep the flowers crisp and hydrated for a longer period.

Heat can accelerate the wilting process, so keeping your flowers in a cool environment can help them stay fresh for much longer.

Although that's not ideal it will definitely help extend the life of your flowers.
