Just keep them in a nice dry spot and dont move them around or touch them to much. I gave my girlfriend a bunch of roses that she tied up and hung upside down to dry. these lasted for a good couple of years. Hair spray would probably help or spray on laquer would be good if you gave them a few light coats. Doing each one induvidually would be best,taking care of course.

You can reinforce the stems by attaching floral wire with floral tape. I have also mnay years ago dipped the flower head in clear melted wax, a very light, coat hanging upside down to drain . You can also spray with several VERY light coats of a clear matte spray.
