How Long Can Roses Last Without Water or Sunlight?

I am planning to put a rose in a girls locker, but for a period of about 18-19 hours. I will keep the rose in water until the time comes to put it in the locker. I want to know how long it will last without wilting or becoming dry. Can you guys help me here?

How Long Can Roses Last Without Water or Sunlight?
The rose will definitely wilt without water. You need to provide water source for the rose to survive and not wilt. You can 1) wrap the end of the stem with wet paper towel then wrap it with saran wrap to keep the moisture, or 2) ask for a water tube from the florist you will get the rose from and the florist will provide it to you and nicely wrap that rose so it will be a nice surprise when it is found out in the locker.
Reply:Depending on how fresh/healthy the rose is and the size of the tube, the rose should be able to survive until all the water is consumed by the rose. Report It

Reply:I think it will depend on how fresh the rose is and how warm it is in the space. If the rose is fresh and it's cool I think it should last that long. Another idea might be to get one of those rubber-capped tubes of water (you should be able to get one from the florist) to attach to the bottom of the stem to keep it in water even while in the locker.
Reply:I would do an experiment to try and find out.
