How Long Do Preserved Roses Last?
Preserving roses is a great way to lock in a moment in time, like your wedding day, anniversary, or special event. By preserving your flowers, you can keep them for a longer period than if you left them in a vase. But how do you preserve roses, is it different from drying them, and how long will preserved roses last?
Preserved roses are 100% real flowers. Perfect for Valentine's Day. They aren’t made from silk or any other material even though they may look fake from afar. To properly preserve these flowers, it’s critical that your roses were cut when they are at their most beautiful. The flowers are then put into a mixture of glycerin and other plant elements. This rehydrates the rose from its petals to its stem and replaces the
The process of preserving roses is vastly different from drying them. When you dry a flower, it’s typically hung upside down for several days to dehydrate the bloom and stem. After a few days or weeks, the roses will be dried.
The result is a bouquet that’s brittle, lacks its vibrant color, and is easily breakable.
When it comes to how long dried or preserved roses last, the difference can be astounding. Because dried flowers have been dehydrated, they are not long-lasting and can break or lose petals rather easily. If they’re kept in a safe place, they can last for several months, but if they are accidentally bumped or moved, you’ll have more of a mess than a bouquet.

Preserved roses from Ecuador, on the other hand, can be handled and enjoyed for a much longer period. Placed in a vase or on a shelf, you can expect your preserved roses to last one to three years. If you decide to store your flowers in a sealed enclosure, they’ll last even longer – up to 3 years! And you can use your preserved roses for more than sitting in a vase.
They’re perfect for floral art and other craft projects that incorporate flowers.
If you’re looking for a fun way to commemorate an event, or if you want a unique centerpiece that can be kept and used for years, preserved roses are the answer you’re looking for. At Palatial Petals®, we have a huge variety of roses, both fresh and preserved, for every occasion.

How Do Preserved Roses Last A Year?
Our roses are specially treated with our sophisticated proprietary solution. This preservation technique transforms the roses into long-lasting roses that maintain their freshness and biological structure. This is because of a special formula Palatial Petals have developed.
The two-day process involves cutting a flower at its most peak and perfect state. Next, each rose is delicately dehydrated and then re-infused with natural oils and a non-toxic and non-allergenic wax formula that is similar to silica. The outcome is that the roses magically continue to look, feel, and even smell like fresh-cut roses but with the difference being that they will maintain their natural beauty, radiance, and feel for up to 3 years!

Preserved Roses Vs. Dried Roses
Preserving a rose is very different from drying one.
When you dry a flower, it’s typically hung upside down for several days to dehydrate the bloom and stem. After a few days or weeks, the roses will be completely dried. The result is a bouquet that’s brittle, lacks its vibrant color, and is easily breakable.
When it comes to how long dried or preserved roses can last, the difference can be astounding. Because dried flowers have been dehydrated, they are not long-lasting and can break or lose petals rather easily. If they’re kept in a safe place, they can last for several months, but if they are accidentally bumped or moved, you’ll have more of a mess than a bouquet.
Preserved Roses, on the other hand, can be handled and enjoyed for a much longer period. Once hand-set in one of our luxury rose boxes you can expect your Preserved Roses to anywhere from one to three years. If you decide to store your flowers in a sealed enclosure, they’ll last even longer – up to 10 years! When it comes to the difference between dried roses and Preserved Roses - There is no comparison!
How Do You Care For Preserved Roses?
All you have to do is keep your Preserved Roses within room temperature and away from direct sunlight and you will have an exquisite flower that retains its vitality, elegance, and natural beauty year-round. Preserved Roses are the perfect alternative to fresh flowers because there is no need to water, change out vases, or deal with withered, wilted petals. More importantly, you can enjoy your Preserved Roses for up to 3 years!
By following these simple tips you can ensure your Preserved Roses are kept in tip-top condition for the longest time possible:
- Do not put them in water. Remember, they have treated plants and they are not alive, even if they look like they are.
- You should keep them out of humid places or environments. In coastal or rainy areas where humidity is very high, you should keep them away from places where air enters or where there are ventilation grilles.
- Don’t put them in places where they will be in direct sunlight. Preserved Roses should not be exposed to the sun for prolonged periods.
- You shouldn’t press, bend or squash the petals or stems. They are delicate and can be damaged easily.
How Do You Preserve Roses?
The roses are then transformed into long-lasting roses that somehow maintain their freshness and biological structure. This is because of a special formula the company has developed. The two-day process involves cutting a flower at full bloom, dipping it into a plant-based proprietary solution to extract the natural colors, and then re-infusing it through a sophisticated pigmentation process. Next, each rose is dehydrated and then injected with natural oils and a non-toxic and non-allergenic wax formula that is similar to silica. The outcome is that the roses magically continue to look, feel, and even smell like fresh-cut roses but with the difference being that they will maintain their natural beauty, radiance, and feel for up to 3 years!
