Preserved roses introduction

 

Roses have been the symbol of love, beauty and elegance for centuries but their short life span can be a drawback.

Enter the world of everlasting or eternal roses : the solution that keeps the natural beauty of fresh roses, for every occasion, for months or even years.

Unlike artificial flowers, stabilised roses are real flowers that go through a special preservation process to keep their everlasting beauty for an extended period of time.

They are getting more and more cherished for home decor, a special occasion and gifts. But what makes them so special?

 

The preservation technique : How are roses preserved?

 

Our special preservation process for roses involves replacing the natural sap and moisture with a glycerin based solution.

Usually the preservation process starts with selecting high quality roses at their peak cut stage. These roses are then treated with a glycerin based solution that preserves their quality, softness, shape and texture.

Our preservation technique takes several days to obtain the desired result, and allows eternal roses to look and feel like real roses.

 

Benefits of infinity roses

 

Why are eternal roses becoming the favourite of flower lovers? Let’s see some of their advantages:

 

1.    Longevity : Preserved roses can keep their everlasting beauty for an extended period, from several months to years, with minimal care, unlike fresh roses that wilt in a week.

2.    Cost effective : Although a purchase of everlasting roses may be more expensive upfront, they are more economical in the long run, thanks to their long lifespan.

3.    Low maintenance : No watering, no trimming, no specific lighting required. Eternal roses and plants are low maintenance.

4.    Eco friendly : By reducing waste and eliminating the need to replace them constantly, preserved roses are an eco friendly choice that reduces our carbon footprint.

5.    Year round availability : Unlike fresh roses that are seasonal, infinity roses are available in many colours and styles all year round, to leave a lasting impression and make your gifting experience one of a kind.

 

Uses of stabilised roses

 

Preserved roses are versatile and can be used in many ways and for every occasion. Here are some of the popular uses :

Home décor : Add elegance and timeless beauty to a room by placing good quality preserved roses in vases, wall art or centre pieces. They look good with modern and traditional interior designs.

Gift giving : A bouquet of forever roses is a meaningful gift for special occasions like weddings, anniversary, birthday of a family member, friend or loved one, or Valentine’s Day. Their long lasting nature express emotions, forever love and affection and makes them the perfect gift for every occasion.

Corporate and office décor : Forever roses are perfect for corporate settings as they require minimal maintenance and look fresh and sophisticated. They are great for reception areas, conference rooms and executive offices.

Special events and displays : From weddings to galas, preserved roses and petals can add luxury to any event. They can be used in floral arrangements, aisle decorations, backdrops or even as a perfect gift for guests.

 

Our roses come in small, medium and large sizes, whereby each size fits a certain type of floral arrangement.

Small and medium roses are mainly used in smaller floral designs, whereas large infinity roses are used for rose boxes, big vase bouquets and under glass domes, a trend that started after the release of the movie ‘The beauty and the beast’.

We also have a well curated collection of the highest quality flower arrangements and bouquets, that will leave a lasting impression on every occasion.

 

Design and Style Tips

 

• DIY floral arrangements : Mix carefully arranged quality forever roses with other stabilised or dried fillers or foliage. Add greenery, eucalyptus or hydrangeas to add texture and colour contrast.

 

• Decorative displays : Place a single preserved rose under a glass dome or in a shadow box and grace a corner or table top with a simple and elegant display.

 

• Seasonal décor : Use stabilised roses in seasonal wreaths, table centre pieces or garlands. For example, red preserved roses for Christmas.

 

• Rose gift boxes : Since some years, rose boxes and luxury gift boxes have become a popular design amongst floral designers, florists, and customers, because they are the perfect gift for any occasion. They are different from any other floral bouquet and are ideal statement pieces – either as an appreciation gift or a great addition in any room.

 

• Colour, shape and size : Our luxury preserved roses come in a large range, from classic red, pink or white roses, to unique colours like blue or black. Choose colours that match your decor or event theme. The yearly trends in the colour palette follow usually the same overall colour trends of the fashion industry. Our collection includes heart shaped roses, as well as rainbow roses.

 

How to care for your eternal roses

 

Although preserved roses require minimal maintenance, here are some tips to keep them looking good :

 

• Avoid direct sunlight : Direct light can cause colours to fade over time. Place your infinity roses in a shaded area.
• Keep away from humidity : High humidity can cause forever roses to deteriorate. Keep them in a dry area, away from humid bathrooms or kitchens.
• Dust gently : Use a soft brush or wet wipe to remove dust. Do not use water or cleaning products.
• Handle with care: While a preserved rose arrangement is durable, it is still fragile. Handle it with care and touch it the least possible.

 

Myths about preserved roses

 

Here are some myths that need to be busted:

• “Preserved roses are artificial”: False. They are 100% real flowers that have been treated to last longer.
• “Preserved roses don’t look real”: A high quality infinity rose is almost indistinguishable from a fresh rose. It retains the natural suppleness, texture and softness of a freshly cut rose.
• “Preserved roses need special care”: While they need to be kept away from direct light and humidity, infinity roses, plants or leaves do not need daily maintenance.
