What Are Preserved Roses?
Preserved roses are natural flowers treated with a specialized process to replace the plant's natural fluids with preservation solutions. This process ensures the roses retain their visual and tactile qualities without requiring water or special care. Their long-lasting nature makes them ideal for use in decorations, gifts, and professional floral arrangements.
Preservation Process
The preservation of roses involves multiple technical steps to ensure their longevity and quality:
1. Selection: High-quality roses are selected at their peak maturity to ensure optimal results.
2. Dehydration: The roses undergo a dehydration process using an alcohol solution to remove natural moisture while maintaining structural integrity.
3. Rehydration with Preservation Solutions: The roses are infused with a blend of polyethylene glycol (PEG), sorbitol, and natural dyes. This step replaces the removed water and ensures flexibility and vibrant color retention.
4. Drying and Stabilization: After rehydration, the roses are dried under controlled conditions to lock in the preservation solutions.
5. Inspection and Packaging: Each rose is inspected to ensure it meets quality standards before being packaged for distribution.
