Preserved Roses

Everything you need to know about these stunning blooms!

Are Preserved Roses Real?

They might look too good to be true, but yes, our preserved roses are 100% real. While many of our roses have been dyed to ensure you can choose from a wide range of vibrant colours, the blooms themselves are genuine.

These real preserved roses have been treated with advanced preservation techniques to help maintain their natural look and feel without the need for ongoing care.

How are Roses Preserved?

Our roses are preserved using a specialist technique where each bloom is treated with a glycerin-based mixture. Eventually, the glycerin replaces the flowers’ water content, which keeps them looking fresh and unchanged for several years. Unlike dried roses, this method also means the petals remain soft, adding to the appearance of genuine freshness.

How Long Do Preserved Roses Last?

Despite also being known as forever roses or eternity roses, unfortunately, preserved roses do not last forever and will eventually start to deteriorate – although they’re far longer lasting than fresh-cut roses.

High-quality preserved roses typically last from one to three years. With proper care, some can last up to five years. To extend your preserved roses’ lifespan and keep them looking great for as long as possible, please see our care guide, which is accessible on each product listing.

Why Choose Preserved Roses Over Fresh Cut?

The enduring appeal of roses makes them a popular choice for gifting, home decor, floral arrangements and bouquets, but why choose preserved roses over fresh-cut blooms?

• – Low maintenance: Forever roses don’t require water or regular maintenance.
• – Long-lasting: Fresh roses only last a maximum of 1-2 weeks, but preserved roses will stay looking perfect for years.
• – Colour variation & vibrancy: After the preservation process, eternity roses are also dyed to restore their colour, offering the potential for a wider range of creative shades.
• – Cost efficiency: Because they last longer, buying preserved roses can be more efficient in the long run.
• – Environmentally friendly: Similarly, because of their longer life span, you will likely end up buying roses less frequently and therefore using fewer resources.
