Enjoy The Scenic Beauty of Flowers That Last a Year

Welcome to the magical world of flowers that last a year!

Yes, you heard us right.

Flowers can bring a breath of fresh air into every room. Seriously, nothing can beat a grand delivery of freshly cut blooms. Flowers can make even the most dreary days brighter. And flowers that last a year can make your days joyful and colorful all year round!

From the world-famous Kardashians to the super-model Hadid sisters, there is hardly any celebrity who hasn't jumped on the forever flower bandwagon. Surely, you have seen Instagram celebrities flaunting a hatbox full of flowers they have received from a loved one. While these flowers may look unreal to our eyes, believe it or not, they are real.

And they can last all year long.

Without water.

Can't believe it? Read on to find out more!

Eternal Blossoms: Discover Flowers That Last for a Year

Preserved rose. Eternal rose. Infinity rose. These are some of the titles that have been given to flowers that last a year.

These blooms can defy time and stay fresh and beautiful all year long.

Eternal roses can last for a really long time. These flowers are 100% naturally grown roses but are preserved differently than regular roses. This factor gives them the ability to last for one to three years.

What is the Secret Behind these Flowers?

The secret behind flowers that last a year is how they are preserved. Preserving a flower in a manner that can maintain its beauty yet extend its longevity is an exact science. These flowers go through multistep chemical treatments to create the perfect, long-lasting effect.

Preserved roses are created by treating them with a glycerin preservative, usually a non-toxic solution with a silica base. This helps in coating the flower's petals individually so each rose looks as freshly bloomed as yesterday. The final step is to dye the roses with different colors that can then be used in flower arrangements to represent immortal love and affection.

How Do Infinity Roses Turn into Flowers that Last a Year?

Once the flower has fully bloomed, the water inside the rose is replaced with glycerine, which acts as a natural preservative. This allows the rose to stay healthy for years. You see, once a rose has been harvested, the water content starts diminishing rapidly once exposed to the environment. This reduces the rose's shelf life.

However, glycerine does not evaporate that quickly into the atmosphere due to its high boiling point. Glycerine is the component that allows the water content in the roses to survive and turn them into flowers that can last a year or more.

How to Care for Flowers That Last a Year

If you have received a delectable bouquet of everlasting flowers, you can follow a series of cardinal rules that can help you enjoy your gorgeous bouquet for a long time.

No Sun

While this goes against everything that we have been taught about plants, preserved roses need to be kept out of the sunlight at all costs so that you can get the most mileage out of them. Direct sunlight will be detrimental to your infinity roses and can zap their life out, so do not put them near windows.

No Touching

The natural oils in our hands can wear down the coated petals, so it's definitely best not to touch them.

No Water

Another factor that makes flowers that last a year different from regular ones is that they require no water. In fact, water can turn out to be harmful to preserved roses. Follow the instructions given by your florist and spritz with water as required.

Do Immortal Roses Cost More than Normal Roses?

Immortal roses cost anywhere between $150 to $300. The price can increase or decrease depending on the number of roses you wish to purchase. Since these roses are flowers that last a year and do not need to be replaced every two to three weeks, they can actually save you money in the long run.
