    Hi Psykicpup,

    My mum taught me how to revive tired roses: Cut the bottom inch or so off the stems at an angle (to help them absorb more water) and plunge them up to their necks into a vase of water boiled in the kettle and leave for a couple of hours. It works every time.

    There's an earlier thread with more ideas:

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

    I agree, hot water is the way to go.
