What Are Roses That Last a Year?
Also known as forever roses, everlasting roses, or eternal rose boxes, these are real roses that have been specially treated to maintain their fresh appearance for 12 months or more. Unlike artificial flowers, these roses begin their lives like any traditional bloom. They're picked at peak perfection and then preserved using a sophisticated technique that replaces the sap with a non-toxic solution, locking in softness, color, and natural structure.
"Forever roses aren't just long-lasting, they're curated expressions of emotion, the sentiment behind the gesture."
These flowers require no water or sunlight, making them ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the elegance of roses without maintenance. They’re also an eco-conscious alternative to constantly replacing cut flowers.
