Every year at Valentines Day, over 150 million long stemmed red roses are given as a Valentines gift of love and eternal devotion. If you are like me you are thinking, that is a lot of roses. This is especially true when you consider that these roses will all end up dead and trashed by the end of the month. It really does seem a waste of a lot of perfectly good flowers. But science has once again come to the rescue with an amazing new creation many are dubbing the "eternal rose" because it is a red rose that can last for years without losing its vibrant looks.
No, this is not yet another artificial rose or some kind of dried version of a red rose. This is a real rose, that through the gift of science in the form of preservation with glycerin and food dyes will give you a beautiful and natural looking and feeling flower for years and years to come. It does not feel dried out and stiff, nor is it leathery. It has the velvet texture we all love in a rose and, properly kept, should stay that way for years.
I recently heard of this "Everlasting Natural Rose" from a friend who was curious to know if this was the real thing or not. I must admit that my curiosity was aroused as well and so I decided to find out more. It didn't take long before I began to discover that one single company was behind the "eternal rose" phenomena, and that the culprit was a country that has long been known for their shrewd business sense as well as their romantic disposition. The process for preserving flowers with natural ingredients began in Italy, where this business became first involved with botanical preservation of Mediterranean flowers. Of course, it wasn't long before the French began introducing these amazing products, how could a people as romantic as the French not want to have flowers that last naturally for years?
These days that same Italian company has partners around the world who continue their remarkable flower preservation process. These partnerships have for several years made available to a host of flower shops and indoor decorators these preserved flowers. Recently, a few choice websites have been able to offer the famed "eternal rose" at Valentines Day to make the perfect Valentines gift. You can well imagine that this is a gift that is going to be popular with many sites, and those that are lucky enough to be able to offer them are seeing these wonderful tributes to love go out the door just as fast as they can send them.
So when Valentines Day rolls around, you just may want to check out this amazing botanical wonder, the "eternal rose" and give the Valentines Gift of a red rose that will live on and on. We all know just how potent a symbol the red rose can be, on Valentines Day or any other day. This year, you can give a Valentines Gift that speaks volumes about the long lasting love you have in your heart, with a long lasting red rose that will be a treasure for years to come.
