How come my roses aren't opening?

I got them 2 days ago.

I diagonally cut about 2 inches of the stems off
I removed the guard petals.
I put them in water with the plant food in it.
I changed the water daily and added peroxide to help the water not get cloudy.
I removed the leaves that are touching the water.

They are starting to look a bit shrived and it only been a couple days
😩

They don't trust you; that's why they won't open up to you.

@SomeMichGuy no

@iamnikki If you smelled them carefully and didn't detect any problem, I'd say that's quite odd. You did all the right stuff.

I wish I could advise. Unfortunately, my thumbs are about as far from green as you can get, lol.

@LaNinaRosa I purchased cut flowers from the store. So what soil are you talking about?
I didn't plant them to begin with, so how am I gonna try different soil?
