Default Flower shop flowers

Are cut flowers e.g. roses from flower shops safe or are they full of chemicals to preserve them? I was thinking they could be kept a while in a vase and used when needed

Yeah
The weeds I had grown from seeds have collapsed after keeping them in the same room as the torts, I've now put my other tray in a cold out-house next to a window that gets opened now and again and they are growing really strong
