How do you keep roses/flowers given as a gift?

boyfriend gave me flowers for the first time and i dont want it gone. I used to just leave it alone when it dies but i dont now. What are a couple ways to keep them/store them?

Let them dry out, then put them in a large heavy book, and rubber band the book closed. Later you can mount them in a shadow bag. 🌸 👍

Tie a string around the bottom of the bouquet and then hang them upside down. They will dry out perfectly straight.

I usually keep mine in a book and let them dry. 🌹💐

You can dry them. The crystal cat litter is just cheap silica gel and does a great job at drying things. Do a YouTube search.

Put them in the freezer, maybe a giant ice cube.
