🌹 What Are Preserved Roses?

Preserved roses are 100% natural roses that have undergone a proprietary dehydration and coloring process to maintain their shape, softness, and vibrancy for 2–3 years without watering or sunlight.

They are ideal for:

Gifting (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Anniversaries)

Home & hotel decor

Event and wedding installations

E-commerce and retail

🏭 From Fresh Rose to Forever Rose: The Complete Process

1. Selection at Peak Bloom

Only A-grade roses in full bloom are selected.

Sorting is based on size (2–6cm), petal count, and overall shape.

2. Dehydration

Roses are soaked in a proprietary alcohol- or glycerin-based solution.

This removes moisture while preserving cellular structure.

3. Coloring & Preservation

Cosmetic-grade pigments are infused into the flower.

Roses are dyed into red, pink, blue, champagne, lavender, and other trendy tones.

4. Controlled Drying

Roses are dried in temperature-controlled chambers to fix shape and color.

This prevents shrinkage and fading.

5. Trimming & Quality Control

Petals and stems are adjusted by hand to ensure symmetry and fullness.

Final inspection involves shape, color consistency, and fragrance.

6. Packaging & Assembly

Roses are placed in airtight trays or directly assembled into packaging (glass domes, acrylic boxes, etc.)
