What Is a Preserved Rose?
A preserved rose is a 100% real rose that has undergone a preservation process designed to retain its softness, color, and natural shape for extended periods ā up to 3 years or more under optimal conditions. These are not artificial roses. They begin their journey as fresh roses grown at peak bloom on our boutique farm in Ecuador.
Each bloom is harvested at its most radiant, then placed in a proprietary solution of plant-based glycerin and natural elements. This replaces the sap, rehydrates the flower, and locks in its lifelike beauty.
So, are preserved roses real? Yes ā preserved roses are completely real. They look, feel, and even smell like fresh-cut roses, making them ideal for anyone seeking elegance without the fleeting lifespan of traditional bouquets.

How Are Preserved Roses Made?
The preservation process involves three meticulous steps:
-
Harvesting roses at their most pristine state.
-
Dehydrating each bloom while retaining its structure.
-
Re-infusing the flower with natural oils and a wax-based solution that stabilizes and enhances longevity.
This is not the same as air-drying. While dried flowers become brittle and lose their vibrancy, preserved roses maintain their suppleness and vivid color.
So, how are preserved roses made? Through a controlled and eco-conscious method that ensures each bloom looks stunning for years ā with no synthetic materials involved.
How Long Do Preserved Roses Last?
A common question we receive is: How long does a preserved rose last? The answer: at least one year, with many of our arrangements lasting up to three years ā or even longer in sealed cases.
Unlike dried roses that crumble after a few months, our natural preserved roses are flexible, vibrant, and designed to endure. When stored away from humidity and direct sunlight, preserved roses from Palatial Petals will remain beautiful for years, not days.

Can You Cut a Preserved Rose?
Yes, you can cut a preserved rose ā but caution is key. Once preserved, the stem is more fragile than fresh roses and may be coated in wax-like compounds. If you're crafting with eternal rose bouquets, itās best to use precision tools and minimal handling to prevent damage.
Similarly, if you're wondering, can you cut the stem of a preserved rose? ā the answer is yes, but the stem should be handled delicately. Unlike fresh stems, preserved rose stems arenāt meant for water or floral foam insertion.
