I haven't done this. My GUESS is that if the flowers are completely dry and rigid, it would probably work.Krylon Crystal Clear acrylic spray (comes on flat, satin, and gloss) would probably also work. You should probably spray, let completely dry, then keep spraying layers, drying in between. There is also a polyester resin in cans into which objects can be dipped. This is usually used for strong, rigid objects, so may collapse flowers. Please note, these are only suggestions, since I have never preserved flowers in this manner.

I have not done it this way before. It may work you can try it on a different flower and see what happens. Also if you go to a craft store they may have a better idea to help with that.

I don't know the answer because I have not used in this way. But you certainly can try it. Some people use aspirin in the water to extend the life of fresh flowers.

No. You soak the top section in water. It'll hold enough water to keep the flowers alive.

I like too make stuff too ! , but I think some thing should be bought , might work if it don't cause fire , If your thinking of using to flower plants, buy the real thing

The packing says it can be used on ornamentals so I think roses are okay. However I would avoid spraying the plant and go after the soil instead. It killed all the blooms on my weigela last time I did it. The plant is recovering nicely though.

Never tried it for that, I recommend Safer brand organic Sulfur spray. You spray this organic sulfur liquid on you plants during the vegetation cycle a few times, and 2 weeks after your plants start to flower. Then no more. It makes the stem and plant mold and mildew free. Just do not spray on after the flowers or fruits begin to produce, as it can then effect the flavors... And mold and mildew have a tuff time growing in sunlight or use at least a 600 watt sodium bulb if indoors. Also this is an oil based extract and I would think it would not mix well with water to apply it to plants. good luck Never tried it for that, I recommend Safer brand organic Sulfur spray.

I don't quite know what is meant by "preserve" them. If you want to keep them alive, use sphagnum moss or floral foam, lightly misted with water every few days. If you are talking about "preserve" as dried flowers are preserved I do no know how that would be done, as succulents are very unattractive when they begin to dry out. Hope this helps.

Since I only grow hybrid tea roses in a rose bed, I don't know about using the fertilizer spikes on container grown roses. There might be something to answer your question on the Jobe's bag under 'Directions for Use'. I don't have a bag handy to look but you might find one on Amazon.

I have never used it on Roses. I have sprayed gardenias, azaleas, vegetables and purselane (spanish moss). It is permethrin based, you might have to research to find that out. This product is oil based - but mixes with water - so it might damage the flower - not the leaf. There are water based (powder based) permethrin products on the market since they are water based, they should not damage the petals, but again I would check with a rose expert.

Sorry I don't know for certain but my guess would be no as they were described to me as for flowers and crafts. I use them in the bottom of a vase. I'd recommend asking the manufacturer.

You should pull up the label online...all the info you need should be on it. Fruit trees and roses are listed on the label which is what I am using it for; however, I haven't read it recently so I can't speak to use on vegetables.

These are reusable. It probably won't produce in the frost -- not many plants do. You'll be ready to use this once your plant is close to flowering.

Garden Safe Fungicide3 may be used on all roses, flowers, housplants, ornamental trees and shrubs, fruits and vegetables grown in and around the home and garden. I have used on my tomato plants and beans prior to the tomatoes and beans forming. It took care of insects and leaf spots so that I didn't need to use it once blossoms started.

This product is for insects. You need to look for a product specifically for mildew. If you are growing roses like I do. You need to search for needed products on the internet. I went to rosemania.com and then bought the products I needed on Amazon. I had no problems with mildew on my roses last year.

i have not used this on grape rot. I use only on roses. It is fair for rose fungus. For ornamental plants like roses, I find that the white spots caused by the daconil are more visible than the fungus it kills. I supposse white spots don't matter if your plant is not an ornamental.

Dont know if it can be used on flower bed. You can try it in a small spot to find out. Not sure how much it wil cover. I have stored it in the 1 gal container. It didnt seem to be as effective after stored..
