With roses being one of the most beautiful flowers to showcase love and appreciation, it stands to reason why one would want to invest in roses that last longer than a few days or weeks. In general, these highly versatile flowers, when bought regularly, need an abundance of maintenance and care to last a week or more.

But even still, there is no denying that they will wilt relativity soon after gifting them, a harsh reality that can inevitably take away from the initial sentiment. This is why so many people are finally skipping the mainstream rose buying approach and focusing their time and effort on going with roses that hold their beauty and meaning for years – preserved roses.

What Are Preserved Roses?

Preserved roses, often referred to as eternity roses, infinity roses, or forever roses, are 100% real roses that feature a unique level of lasting power. These roses go through a strategic preservation process that elongates their lives while remaining hydrated from the pedals to the stems, all while keeping their original luxury aesthetics. In short, the preservation process entails the roses having their sap replaced with natural wax-based substances that enable the rose to maintain its appearance, texture, and freshness.

Disclaimer: Please do not confuse preserved roses with dried roses. Preserved roses look, feel, and act much like regular roses, whereas dried roses lack color and are much more brittle/breakable due to dehydration.

Why Choose Roses that Last?

 Investing in preserved roses comes with a strong inventory of advantages for both you and the receiver. Aside from the most notable benefit being these are roses that last for years without losing their elegance, preserved roses are generally maintenance-free (zero pruning, water, or sunlight – just some light dusting), completely customizable, reduce waste, and are much cheaper in the long run than buying fresh roses throughout the year(s).

 Please also note that to keep your preserved roses in good shape to reach their peak longevity, avoid touching them often because the oil on your hands could dull their appearance over time. Furthermore, do not take them out of their original packaging, as moving them could risk their quality. If you have specific packaging needs, do not hesitate to reach out to The Giftery & Co team, and they will be more than happy to support your custom display visions.
