🌹 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.)
