Roses in hat box in Mexico City: forever roses that keep for years
Roses in hat box in Mexico City are preserved: with care, they keep for one to three years. The lifespan is the same whatever the number or colour, so the choice comes down to two questions: how many roses, and which shade.
Nine or nineteen roses, and which colour
The range has two sizes, nine roses and nineteen, both set in a velvet hat box. Nine come in red, powder pink or white; nineteen come only in red or powder pink, so anyone wanting nineteen white stems takes the nine instead. Each is a real rose, cut at the moment it opened, with its sap replaced by a glycerine-based solution; the petal stays soft rather than brittle, and the flower stays exactly as it looked when cut.
Keeping forever roses in a hat box
Keep the box indoors and out of direct sun, since sunlight fades the dye over time. The rose needs no water and no spray, so it should sit away from splashes, damp rooms and heat sources. Dust is best lifted with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air, never wiped with a cloth.
A photo of the finished box goes to the sender before the courier leaves, and the card can carry a name or stay anonymous. The delivery slot shows on the product page, and zones and timing are on the delivery page. For a fresh bouquet instead, fresh roses or flowers in boxes are the places to start.
