Take Two Aspirin

My grandmother taught me an excellent tip on how to preserve the blooms of my rose garden inside my home. She filled a third of a vase with water and dropped two aspirin tablets into the water. Then she clipped the most beautiful blooms from my bushes and arranged them in the prepared vase. The vibrant color and health of the roses lasted twice as long as normal after being clipped. Even rose food did not compare to the wonders of my grandmother’s two aspirin.
