FAQ
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Are the roses real?
Yes! Our roses are grown high up in the Andes in Ecuador, where the days are long and the combination of sunlight and fertile soils produce some of the world’s most incredible roses.
The roses are carefully tended so they can be picked at precisely the right moment, then treated with a special preserving liquid that replaces and locks in moisture to keep them looking freshly cut. Our florists tint the roses after preservation, ensuring long-lasting, vibrant colours.
Unlike dried flowers, which are often brittle, fragile and discoloured, preserved roses look as perfect as a freshly cut rose, with the benefit of lasting much longer.
How long do preserved roses last?
Preserved roses are very easy to care for, and with minimal maintenance, you can expect them to last from one to three years in most cases.
To enjoy your preserved roses for as long as possible, just keep them out of direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity. No water or mist is needed!
I have allergies. Are preserved roses suitable for me?
Great news - preserved roses are perfect for people with allergies!
The pollen is completely removed as part of the preservation process, so anyone can enjoy preserved roses without the irritation and health issues caused by allergies.
Many of our customers tell us they love our preserved roses because they can finally enjoy natural roses in the home.
Can I take the roses out of their box?
Our florists take great care with the creation of each flower box, and design them as a complete display piece. The roses could be damaged by removing them, so to avoid disappointment they shouldn’t be removed from their display box.
Our stunning handcrafted boxes are the perfect way to display the roses, so we’re confident you’ll find an arrangement you love.
Can the roses go outside?
Sunlight can reduce the longevity of preserved roses, so please keep them indoors and away from direct sunlight so you can enjoy them for the longest time possible.
What happens after their 'time', do they die?
The longevity of preserved roses depends on how they’re cared for and the environment they’re in, so it’s possible you’ll enjoy your roses well beyond the expected lifespan with some very basic care.
Preserved roses don’t “die” in the way that fresh roses do, but eventually you may begin to notice slight discoloration on the petal edges, some signs of drying, and perhaps minor cracking.
Do the roses still smell?
The preservation process removes the scent of roses, so our florists delicately restore the beautiful natural fragrance of the roses with a pure rose oil. The scent of the oil may fade naturally over time.
