How Long Do Preserved Roses Really Last? Eco-Friendly Truths Unveiled đŸŒč

How Long Do Preserved Roses Really Last?

The short answer: 1-3 years with basic care (yes, even “forever” has limits!). But here’s why that’s actually awesome:

1ïžâƒŁ Science magic: Real roses undergo a gentle preservation process where natural sap is replaced with plant-based waxes and oils. No zombies—just flowers paused in their prime.

2ïžâƒŁ Survival hacks:
→ Keep them away from direct sunlight (they’re vampires—bright light fades their color)
→ No humidity saunas (bathrooms = ❌)
→ Dust gently with a hairdryer on cool mode (yes, really!)

Fun fact: We’ve had a customer display her wedding bouquet for 5 years in a glass dome (airtight = MVP).

Are They Eco-Friendly? Let’s Break It Down 🌎

VS Fresh Flowers:

  • ❌ Regular roses: Often flown across continents (big carbon footprint), sprayed with pesticides, tossed after 7 days.

  • ✅ Preserved roses: Last years = fewer replacements needed. Our preservation liquid? Non-toxic and biodegradable.

VS Plastic Faux Flowers:

  • ❌ Plastic blooms: Made from petroleum, sit in landfills for 450+ years.

  • ✅ Preserved roses: 100% real + biodegradable over time. Even the packaging? Recyclable kraft paper boxes.

Our dirty secret: We salvage “ugly” roses destined for landfills and transform them into forever beauties. đŸŒ±

Final Thought:

Preserved roses aren’t magic—they’re smarter, kinder alternatives. Like your grandma’s wedding dress preserved in tissue paper, they’re about cherishing beauty mindfully.
