The eternal spring of preserved roses

Let’s face it! Not all of us have the talent of a florist to maintain blooms in a state of perfection for days or weeks. But flowers are too beautiful for just giving up on them. For sure you’ve dreamed about keeping flowers looking fresh without making much effort. Imagine it, no stem trimming, no wilting petals, and no murky water. Now that dream has come true!

Make a picture in your mind of the most colorful roses on earth growing up in between volcanoes and the sunlight of the middle of the world. Hoja Verde has recently come across the brilliant idea of trapping the precise instant when such gorgeous Ecuadorian flowers begin to bloom. They transform these freshly cut natural roses into preserved blooms that can last from 1 to 3 years without watering.

Natural blooms absorb a special liquid that little by little replaces the sap and water contained in the petals, stems and leaves of fresh flowers.

Everything begins with a careful selection of natural roses. Those that meet the standards of a world class flower enter an artisanal process of preservation in which natural roses are treated petal by petal and rebuilt into preserved blooms.

In this meticulous process; petals, leaves and stems absorb a special liquid that little by little replaces the sap and water. This step allows the flower to keep its natural characteristics and flawless beauty.

As a result of the latter process, roses get a neutral hue, which means Hoja Verde can color them with any tone. The pigment selection is made through cutting edge technology that enables preserved roses to obtain a wide range of colors, from the precise natural tones of fresh blooms to fantasy hues. The options are endless. Later on, talented florists transform them into gorgeous arrangements of diverse forms and sizes.

Every time you purchase an arrangement of preserved roses you are contributing to the wellbeing of several communities in the highlands of Ecuador.

These long lasting arrangements are more than just beautiful. The fresh roses that Hoja Verde transforms into long lasting blooms are in fact Fair Trade, which means every time you purchase an arrangement of preserved roses you are contributing to the wellbeing of several communities in the highlands of Ecuador. Pretty special, isn’t it?

You can either decorate your environment or surprise a loved one with an arrangement of preserved roses to enjoy long lasting memories. You just need to follow these simple indications in order to maintain the beauty of your preserved roses:

• Keep in a cool, dry place.

• Do not expose directly to sunlight.

• Avoid contact with water.

• Avoid crushing, pressing or folding petals.

• Use a dry, cool air stream for cleaning.
