Ever received flowers so beautiful, you wished they would last a lifetime? Well, now that's possible!
Thanks to Forever Roses - a flower company that creates Beauty and the Beast-style roses, you can now have a rose that will live forever (or at least for 3 years)! The beautiful flowers, some of which cost as much as $4000, can live as long as 3 years without sunlight or water. If the flowers are kept underneath a glass dome, however, they are said to last forever! There are tons of colors to choose from, as well as different arrangements. Their most popular rose is the single stem Bella rose in a glass dome, which is available in 29 colors and starts from $200. You can also find some cheaper alternatives on Etsy for just $90. It's a floral fairytale!

Something fishy here. All the roses look exactly the same. They don't grow like that.
I love flowers , particularly those not artificially colored . I have them on the dining table right now. I love to garden & watch things grow. It's to cold here right now, but, I have seedlings peeking up under shop lights below the house. I can see this service being a wonderful way to memorialize special occasions.
This could be so evil, putting beautiful presents in that thing, when you open it you slowly kill it (or let it get messed up or whatever) its almost like the box of pandora
agreed, or it means u have to wait for 3 years to get the gift out

I'm so allergic so this would be perfect for me 😋🌹🌹🌹
Load More Replies...I think its a dumb idea, to me the purpose of FRESH flowers is to be able to smell that freshness. Since most hybridized roses no longer have much of a fragrance I still like that fresh real smell of a live flower, NOT under a dome where I cannot smell it. Plus, I love to put the petals of the no longer viable rose into a dish and leave it in the open to freshen the room. Even nature isn't made to last forever.
The real flower is lacquered to preserve it, so no scent. It's no longer alive, just stays looking fresh as long as you keep it sealed.
Or just buy a plastic one put it in a dome, save yourself a ton of money and it truly will last forever.
I have a feeling they are stretching the term "alive". I rather doubt these roses will "live" for three to indefinite amount of years, rather they will maintain their appearance for that time period. When I was young I had this silica dust I think it was, that, if you carefully poured it to completely encompass a fresh flower, would completely dry it in a few days but it would still look exactly the same. It was perfectly preserved to the eyes but extremely fragile and, after a couple years, the coloring would start to fade and the flower just broke down completely. Not saying they use the same process (not even entirely sure I'm remembering the right name,it must have been 20-24 years ago), but I would think it was something similar in that they are merely preserving the rose in such a way as to maintain a 'fresh' look. And, at even the etsy ones $90 a pop, I wonder if they still sell that power?
I guess you don't have to worry if you recently haven't been mean to a witch. ;)

Its really almost the box of pandora and I love it
