I got some roses vor Valentine's and I want to keep them. What's the best way of preserving them? I heard somewhere that you can use hairspray?

i have seen people tie them together hang them upside down and spray them with hair spray and put into a dark closet untill they are dried.
a freind of mine did some for me and they turned out quite well.

A slightly easier way is to get a box of 20 Mule Team Borax, put a layer in a tupperware container, put your roses in, then cover them with the Borax. Put the lid on the container. In about 3 weeks, it will dry them out and preserve them. Just be aware that they will be darker than they are now any way you dry them.
