At the heart of our catalog, in the hearts of our customers.
Techniques for preserving flowers and foliage, especially roses in Ecuador, are around twenty years old. These techniques have evolved considerably to offer our customers roses that last ever longer, currently at least five years.
Over the years, we've created roses in different sizes, colors and shapes, to suit our customers' magnificent creations: Rose Boxes, Acrylic Boxes, Roses with domed stems like the famous Beauty and the Beast rose, floral arrangements with other flowers and foliage, and personalized floral decorations.
Preserved roses are real, fresh roses that are immortalised by various processes that can be summarised as follows: Devitalisation of the flower, replacement of organic and durable matter, colouring by immersion or spraying and drying. Colouring in particular and drying are similar to the textile industry. We have a TV report about us that explains the process, which is available on TikTok (see contact page).
The rose must be preserved very quickly after cutting, when it is fully hydrated and in its splendor and freshness. Roses destined for preservation are cut on their stems, in their final stage of full bloom, preserving them then gives them a second, almost eternal life.
Colours: Creating new colours of preserved roses is our speciality. A dynamic and constantly changing market demands new rose colours all the time. The fashions and trends of our time and around the world are changing rapidly, so it's essential to keep up with fashion and offer colours that are in tune with the times. For example, a few years ago, at the Live Black Matter events in the USA, we immediately created two colours: Light Tie Dye and Dark Tie Dye. These two special effects, which combine several colours on the same rose, quickly became very popular, and they still are.
We've also pioneered the industry with triple rose bleaching and pastel colouring, giving a more tender, baby, fleshy and deep texture to the preserved rose. Just compare a White Chocolate to a Champagne, and you'll immediately see the difference. We're talking about the Wedding Edition and Nude Edition collections, which you can discover a little further up our catalogue.
In the Nude Edition collection , one old pink in particular is a big hit, and has been for years: Antique Pink. This pink has been copied by almost all of our competitors, some of whom have changed the name, while others are still using it. To defend our work and protect our customers, we are currently working to prevent these copies from being made legally. Antique Pink is now a protected colour, as is its name.
It takes 6 to 8 months to bring a new colour to market: study of the different markets, study of current and future trends, consultation with our customers, colour tests in laboratories, colour resistance tests, transport resistance tests with shipments to some of our customers, etc...
For all these reasons, even if some competitors copy our colours, they can never match them.
For next year 2025, just after Valentine's Day, we are thinking of offering our customers 5 new colours that will not be published in our online catalogues, except for two of them (Yellow Veuve Clicquot and Orange Hermés), colours that we will offer privately exclusively to our customers who have already ordered from us at least once. For these reasons we have given up our Instagram and Facebook, preferring to work with a selection of the best, our customers.
Fragrant roses: Ecuador Forever was the initiator of the fragrance on preserved roses. No, don't get me wrong, it's not just a Chanel 5 sprayed on roses (I'm joking), but a rose perfume, without too much alcohol, with little or no water to avoid damaging the roses. And above all, a fragrance that lasts, like our magnificent preserved roses, at least 6 months to a year of fragrance depending on the colour*. About 4 years ago, we imagined a wonderful fragrance for our preserved roses, and for nearly 14 months we tested all the options and acceptable substances available on the market:
*Yes, the colour red (Red One, Deep Red), the colour of love, absorbs natural essences much more quickly! Do your rose suppliers know this?
If after a while the fragrance of your roses fades, we recommend sprinkling only into the heart of your preserved roses, a fragrance like Jo Malone Red Roses ™. One second of sprinkling, no more.
We hope that these few words have taught you a little more about your preserved roses, there is still a lot to say, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
