TIP 2: I too made sure my roses were secured from heavy wind. I had pots and branches broken before. Normally, tying the canes to a support or fence helps to avoid these devastating incidents.
Saving the blooms
What were saved - my SN Almost Lover and the SN Jingga Irisa blooms. Some blooms were already in full blown (kembang masak) and rain can destroy the petals in seconds.

| A bouquet of roses, in Bahasa Malaysia is "Jambangan bunga ros / jambangan bunga mawar" |
 |
| Hybrid tea is always considered for cut roses. I shouldn't overlook floribunda and other spray roses the next time I do a bouquet and get creative with colors, foliages and vases. |
 |
| Warm water half in vase. I failed to get rid of leaves that shouldn't be underwater and remove the thorns. Simple arrangement like this need not me spending 30 minutes to snap off the thorns. Anyhow, the thorns stabilize the stems in the vase and reduce stem injury where bacteria can enter/multiply. |
|
| Once in a while, it's refreshing to enjoy roses indoor. |
 |
| By adding the pill or the cut flower/foral preservative (Penahan Keratan Bunga), the blooms although aged; can last up to 3 days before petals begin to drop. For me, professional preservative always gives the best result compared to home-made. |
Last but not least - Happy New Year! to all my readers out there. May you have lots of blooms in your garden too.

Wahai cantiknya... i always feel very 'sayang' to cut the roses when they bloom, just leave them until they die off.
