The recently proposed method of extracting more detailed information on {rho}- and {phi}-meson properties from the Laplace QCD sum rules is extended to include also the lowest-lying radial excitations in both channels. The approach is based on a simultaneous numerical matching of the corresponding sum rule and its derivative in a suitable range of the sum-rule parameter {ital M} as well as on the use of smooth parametrizations for the hadronic cross sections {sigma}({ital e}{sup +}{ital e{minus}}{r arrow}2{pi},4{pi}) and {sigma}({ital e}{sup +}{ital e{minus}}{r arrow}{ital K{bar K}}). The predicted masses, widths, and some other decay characteristics are close to the experimental values.
