Preserved Roses

Everlasting roses are real roses whose freshness and texture have been preserved through a special process. They are not artificial flowers: a natural rose is cut at its most beautiful bloom, and its water content is replaced with a plant-based solution. The result is a flower that doesn't need watering and retains its form for months or even years. It's the most special option in the rose category for those who want a gift that will last.

How to Obtain an Everlasting Rose?

Fresh roses are harvested at the point of full opening. The water inside the stem is replaced with a glycerin-based mixture; this process prevents the cell structure from collapsing and preserves the flexibility of the petals. The color is fixed with natural dyes applied during the process. Therefore, in addition to classic rose colors, non-fading roses can also be found in shades such as navy blue, black, and gold.

How long does an everlasting rose last?

When stored under suitable conditions, non-fading roses retain their form for an average of 1-3 years. The most important factors determining their lifespan are humidity, direct sunlight, and physical contact. A slight lightening of the color may be observed over time; this is a natural process and does not mean the product has spoiled.

To whom and under what circumstances is it sent?

• On anniversaries: Permanence is equated with the continuity of the relationship.
• A marriage proposal souvenir: It can be kept for years to come.
• For someone far away: It offers a one-time, lasting gift for those who can't frequently send flowers.
• For those who don't like to deal with flower care: It doesn't require water, light, or pruning.
• For office and workplace gifts: It can sit neglected on a desk for a long time.

The Difference Between Everlasting Roses and Artificial Roses

Artificial roses are made from fabric, plastic, or foam; their artificiality is immediately apparent upon touch. A preserved rose, on the other hand, is a preserved version of a real rose; its petal veins, velvety texture, and natural form remain intact. This difference is evident both in appearance and in the meaning of the gift: a preserved rose is a frozen moment of a real flower.

Caring for Everlasting Roses

• Do not water. Water will disrupt the preservation process and cause spots on the leaves.
• Keep away from direct sunlight; light accelerates color fading.
• Do not keep in high-humidity environments (such as bathrooms).
• Remove dust with a soft brush or by blowing cool air; do not use a wet cloth.
• Avoid touching the leaves too often; products with less contact will have a significantly longer shelf life.
• In designs with glass domes, keeping the dome closed protects it from dust.

What determines the price of everlasting roses?

Everlasting roses undergo a longer and more expensive production process than fresh roses; this is the main reason why their price is higher than fresh bouquets. The price is determined by the number of roses, the quality of the preservation process, the presentation materials such as boxes or glass containers, and design details.
