Keep them well watered and in a cool and shady spot inside
should the rose heads wilt before the blooms open (this sometimes happens with the South African import roses due to shipping time), pop them in a full bucket or sink of icy water up to their heads, to soak for 1/2 day and re-cut stems
re-cut stems cleanly with sharp scissors on a regular basis, at a 45 deg. angle to give the stem a maximum drinking surface
tulips will grow towards the light; cut the stems regularly and twist the vase. They are imported this time of year, so open quickly
change the water in your vase regularly, and add one drop of bleach to keep the water clean and some ice to cool them down.
