Preserved roses

A preserved rose is a real and natural rose that has undergone a preservation process to maintain its appearance.

The rose is dehydrated and then rehydrated using a preservative solution. This process allows it to retain the delicate appearance of a fresh rose for much longer than a traditional cut flower.

It thus becomes a gift that is floral, decorative and sustainable all at once.

A preserved rose can retain its beauty for up to 5 years when kept under the right conditions.

Its lifespan depends, in particular, on its exposure to sunlight and humidity, as well as how it is handled.

Despite its name, an eternal or preserved rose does not, in fact, last forever. Rather, the term refers to its exceptionally long lifespan compared to that of a fresh rose.

Good news : a preserved rose requires very little care. To keep it as long as possible:

• Never water it
• Keep it away from moisture
• Avoid direct exposure to the sun
• Avoid handling its petals unnecessarily
• Keep it indoors, in a dry place

No need to change the water or trim the stem. Just choose a good spot and enjoy its beauty!

No. A preserved rose should never be watered or placed in water. Even though it looks like a fresh rose, the preservation process ensures that it no longer needs water. Moisture could actually damage it and shorten its lifespan.

Yes! A preserved rose is a real natural rose.

It is neither an artificial rose nor a plastic flower. It started out as a real rose that was then treated with a preservation process that allows it to retain its appearance for several years.

That is exactly what makes it so charming: it retains the delicacy and beauty of a real flower while lasting much longer.

Both are real roses, but they offer two different experiences.

A fresh rose continues its natural life cycle once cut and changes over the course of several days. It offers the full experience of a living, fleeting flower.

A preserved rose, on the other hand, has been treated to preserve its appearance for several years. It becomes more of a decorative item and a keepsake.

The choice therefore depends mainly on what you want to do : give the gift of a bouquet of fresh flowers or give a single rose that the person can keep for a long time.

Because it combines the joy of giving flowers with the pleasure of keeping the gift for a long time.

The rose is traditionally associated with love and affection. In its eternal form, its longevity naturally adds a symbolic dimension: that of a feeling, a bond or a memory that one wishes to preserve.

It is also particularly well-suited for someone who loves flowers but prefers a gift that requires very little maintenance.

The preserved rose makes a great gift for occasions other than Valentine's Day. It is a wonderful gift idea for:

• a birthday
• a couple's anniversary or a wedding anniversary
• Valentine's Day
• Mother's Day
• a birth
• engagement
• a thank you
• a success
• or just to make someone happy

It can also be paired with other small touches to create an even more personalized gift.

Giving a preserved rose means preserving all the symbolic meaning of a real flower while giving the person something she/he can admire for many years to come.

With no watering required and very little maintenance, it is a wonderful way to celebrate love, mark a birthday, thank someone or simply make a surprise.

You can simply choose the color based on the tastes of the person you are giving it to.

It is often said that red is naturally associated with love and passion, while softer shades can be suitable for a wide variety of occasions : birthdays, thank-you gifts, Mother’s Day, gestures of friendship or simply a gift of appreciation for someone you care about.

At À la Boîte à Fleurs, many of our preserved rose arrangements are available in a variety of colors, so you can choose an arrangement that suits the person to who you offer it and the occasion. Among all the available options, always keep in mind the person you are giving it to, her/his tastes and what would make her/him happy!

Yes. À la Boîte à Fleurs offers delivery of preserved roses throughout Canada.

In Laval and the Greater Montreal area, deliveries can be made directly by our delivery drivers.

For orders shipped outside our custom delivery areas or elsewhere in Canada, the person will need to assemble the set (the preserved rose and its decorative elements). The lovely box will include instructions on how to assemble it for the most beautiful result.

This way, you can send this gift to someone who lives near you… or on the other side of the country!

First, think about the person who will receive it, the occasion and the desired effect. A single rose creates a simple and delicate look, while a preserved rose arrangement in a vase, a gift box or accompanied by decorative elements makes for a more elaborate gift.

You can also choose the color of the rose based on the person's preferences or the message you want to convey.

The goal remains the same : to choose a gift that you will be proud to give and that the person will enjoy for a long time!
