Why choose a preserved rose over fresh flowers for an anniversary?
Fresh flowers make the moment, then fade within a week and leave nothing behind. A rose reinforced with metal and finished by hand stays on a shelf or mantel indefinitely, turning a single anniversary or Valentine's Day into something a couple can see every day afterward rather than something they remember happened once.
Love Is A Rose — Gold-Dipped Preserved Roses
A real rose preserved forever in 24k gold, silver, or platinum — handcrafted since 1966, with free gift packaging and free ground shipping.
Key Features
- Choose a trimmed edge or a fully dipped finish, in stem lengths from 8 to 17 inches, single or paired in a vase.
- Display options include rosewood and crystal cases, heart-shaped vases, and illuminated stands that light the rose from within.
- Personalization is available on request — an engraved anniversary date, a name, or a short message on the base or an accompanying card.
- For every rose purchased, the company donates one through its Kindness Project to a healthcare worker, nursing home resident, or first responder.
Best for
Seniors marking their own wedding anniversary who want something with more sentiment than a card — a keepsake that stays on display rather than getting used up.
A meaningful gift for a parent's or grandparent's landmark anniversary (20th, 25th, 50th) when everyday flowers feel too ordinary for the occasion.
Worth knowing
Personalized items such as engraved dates or names are typically non-returnable, so confirm spelling and wording before ordering. The rose is a display piece rather than a fragrant, living flower — it will not smell or continue to grow. Custom requests are handled by phone rather than online checkout, which adds a step compared with a one-click purchase.
