what lives longer in bouquet - lillies or tulips or roses?

i hate flowers, but need to send something to my mom from my daughter since it's her first mother's day as a grandmom and i forgot to send her a card from my daughter.

I would say tulips, but that is a completely uninformed opinion!!

for me roses have always lived longest

I'd say lilies last longest; tulips and roses are really sensitive to the temp - they both can last over a week if it's 65F in the house, but if it's warmer, they can go in just a few days

Roses usually last a while for me. I always try to beware with lilies-some of them smell awful! GL choosing.
