THE TIMELESS ROSES THAT LAST A YEAR

Roses that last a year have been treated to replace the sap of the plant with a preservative. It is at the moment when she is the most beautiful that she is "immortalized" by lyophilization. It will be identical to the touch and the sight, the eternal rose is a true natural rose. Glycerin is the most used product, usually accompanied by a food coloring to enhance the color.

With some basic precautions (do not expose it directly to the ultra-purple ones, do not put in contact with water) you will be able to enjoy your eternal rose composition for several years. The preservation of plants and, more particularly, that of fresh flowers have existed for a long time, which has not tried to keep some plants between the pages of a very thick dictionary?

Who did not have his own herbarium? Although this method works well for foliage or herbs, it is not optimal for flowers including large sizes such as roses. It is, therefore, necessary to use other methods for this type of flowers such as dehydration, for example. In this case, we will evaporate or extract the water in the flowers either by drying by suspending the plants upside down in a dryer, or by absorbing the water of the flower with silica gel.

For this method, we fill half a hermetic box of this product, place the flowers to be treated, and then cover with silica gel until completely covering the flowers, close the lid. After a few days, extract the product delicately, and voila!!!!

The silica gel can be dried and reused.

Although these methods work very well and are ideal for rotten pots, the appearance of the flower is still very far from a fresh flower, the color also tends to be dark.

So what is the secret of the eternal or stabilized rose?

Well, we will, not remove the water of the flower but rather replace it with a natural preservative (usually glycerin) and a food coloring dosed so learned that the color keeps its natural look.

How do you do it?

The simplest method is to have this product absorbed by the stem of the flower, as it does for the water in a vase.

Then we let it dry upside down for a few weeks to evaporate the residual water.

Easy?

Yes and no because it is necessary to know how to dose the products, glycerin or others, water and dye, moreover the treatment must be done immediately after having picked the flower, moreover the place of treatment must be stable in temperature and humidity.

The professionals of the eternal rose have an interest in keeping their secret jealously after years of experience.

In addition, the success rate is not 100% which explains the final price of the roses that last a year.

IS THE TIMELESS ROSE REALLY ETERNAL?

Not of course, but its lifespan may be several years respecting a few simple rules like avoiding too wet places or direct exposure to Ultra-Violets.
