Here at The Eternity Rose, we are proud to grow our own flawless roses which we preserve in pure Silver, 24K Gold and Platinum. We employ our own team of trained horticultural experts with specialised knowledge of the finest ways to grow high-quality roses, and all our products are derived from the variety Rosa X Centofolia – a complex hybrid which contains R moschata, R caninae, R rubra and R eternity.
Our flowers are cared for judiciously, and as soon as they start to open up, we pick them by hand and immediately begin the preservation process so that their splendour can be perpetually maintained.
Our complex preservation process begins with covering the rose in a translucent coating so that its shape can remain intact during electroplating. By undergoing this technical process, our roses remain frozen in time with a natural, impeccable shape.
After completion of this step, our roses embark on an intricate procedure using our own formulae and immersion electroplating techniques to apply multiple layers to the petals.
Firstly, copper layers are electroplated onto the rose to form a precise and texture sensitive layer which is also a robust base upon which to carry out the precious metal-plating process.
After sealing the rose in copper, nickel electroplating takes place, and this vital step will hold the structure of the blossom in place before it is finally plated with a precious metal.
At the completion of each layer, we rigorously inspect each rose for form, plating quality and any other blemish which may have occurred during the procedure.
Once each flower has passed through our quality control tests, it is then placed into a gold, platinum or silver electroplating bath where many thin layers are applied gradually over the course of several weeks to achieve a fine and lustrous finish.
The entire complex process will take around three months from start to finish, and the result is a rose that will never corrode, and which will last indefinitely.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do You Use Real Flowers?
To put it simply – yes!
There are countless companies all over the world that produce plastic flowers which have been plated in silver or gold, however you can easily spot the differences between a plastic rose which has been metal-plated and one that is a genuine flower.
Electroplated real roses still have all of the natural texture, stem characteristics and leaf veins, and every rose is completely unique in the same way as a fingerprint is one of a kind.
You can see at a glance that every Eternity Rose has been made from a true natural flower.
We have spent years refining the electroplating procedure of layering metal onto our flowers, and as a result of our extensive experience, we only deliver the highest quality precious-metal and gold-plated real roses, without any exceptions.
Our coloured roses feature multiple coating layers made from our own polymer lacquer composite and are also partially electroplated with the edges of the blossom being trimmed in 24K gold.

Can Eternity Roses Break?
Although our roses appear to be very delicate, they are in fact very robust and strong thanks to their layer of nickel. Our Eternity Roses do not break unless excess pressure is placed upon them.
Handling our roses normally is very unlikely to result in any kind of damage, and even if they are accidentally dropped on a carpet, breakage and dents are still unlikely to occur.
If an Eternity Rose falls onto a hard surface, it is possible that some surface scarring may occur, however it should not break.
Here at The Eternity Rose, we have dedicated ourselves to delivering the highest quality products. We always follow strict quality control procedures in order to ensure every product we release meets our high standards.
