Eternal Roses: What Are They and How Are They Made?

Do Eternal Roses Exist? At Verdissimo, we have managed to preserve the beauty of roses for years thanks to a specialized preservation technique, ensuring they do not lose their elegance over time. But what exactly are eternal or preserved roses? Discover everything you need to know about these unique flowers, their preservation process, and how they can enhance any space for years.

What are eternal roses?

Eternal roses, also known as preserved roses, are natural flowers that have undergone an innovative preservation process to maintain their freshness, texture, and beauty for a long period of time, without the need for water or special care. Unlike fresh roses, which have a limited lifespan of only a few days, eternal roses can stay in perfect condition for months or even years.

The preservation process:

• Each flower is cut when it is at its most beautiful and colourful in Verdissimo’s own fields which are specifically dedicated to the cultivation of plants and flowers.
• The stems of the recently cut flowers are immediately submerged in a conserving substance which is made from glycerine and other plant components.
• The sap of the flower is gradually replaced by the liquid until after a few days the process is complete.
• Then, each flower is examined to remove damaged petals or leaves. The result is a perfect flower, extremely beautiful with a fantastic colour.

How is an eternal rose made?

The secret of eternal roses lies in their delicate preservation process, which captures and maintains their maximum beauty for long periods of time. This technique is 100% natural, carried out in several stages, ensuring that each flower retains its natural texture, color, and freshness. Below, we explain step by step how they are made:

Selection at the peak of splendor

Each eternal rose is harvested at its optimal point of color and beauty. At Verdissimo, the flowers are grown in our own fields dedicated exclusively to cultivating high-quality plants and flowers, certified by Florverde, ensuring that only the best roses undergo the preservation process.

Immersion in a preserving solution

Once harvested, the stems of the freshly cut roses are immediately immersed in a preservative solution made of glycerin and other plant-based compounds. This liquid gradually replaces the natural sap of the flower, ensuring the petals and stem maintain their flexibility and fresh appearance.

Complete sap replacement
Over several days, the preservative liquid gradually replaces the entire sap of the rose. This process is key to maintaining the structure and natural texture of the flower, keeping it flawless for years.

Review and perfection

After the preservation process is complete, each flower undergoes a thorough inspection to remove any petals or leaves that may have been damaged. This ensures that the final result is a perfect rose, with a captivating color and impeccable appearance.
The result is a rose that combines the best of nature and technology, ideal for decorating and preserving special moments.
