🌹 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

Fresh roses harvested at peak bloom from Yunnan rose farm

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.

Rose heads graded by size and quality before preservation

2. Dehydration

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

This removes moisture while preserving cellular structure.

Dehydration tanks used to remove moisture from roses

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.
