Preserved roses have gained popularity as an elegant and long-lasting option in the world of floral decoration. However, the question arises: is it safe to expose these precious flowers to humid or outdoor environments? Let's explore key considerations and recommendations for maintaining the freshness of preserved roses in different conditions.
Understanding preserved roses
Before addressing their tolerance to humidity and outdoors, it is crucial to understand how these delicate flowers are preserved. Preserved roses are natural roses that have undergone a special preservation process to maintain their beauty and freshness for an extended period of time. This process involves replacing the rose's natural sap with a preservative solution of 100% natural origin, which allows them to maintain their original shape, color and texture and gives them some resistance to the elements.
Humid environments: a challenge for preserved roses?
Humid environments can be a challenge for preserved roses due to their sensitivity to humidity. Although these flowers are designed to withstand normal humid conditions, prolonged exposure to excessively humid environments can result in ablation or deformation. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid placing preserved roses in places where humidity is too high, such as bathrooms or kitchens without adequate ventilation.
Outdoor exposure: is it possible?
When it comes to exposing preserved roses outdoors, proper protection is key. Although these flowers can withstand brief periods outdoors, it is important to protect them from direct sunlight, rain and, as mentioned, excessive humidity. Placing them in a shady, protected area, such as a covered terrace or roofed garden, can be a good option as long as caution is exercised and prolonged exposure to outside elements such as rain or high winds is avoided.
It is also an option to protect the rose with a glass dome or similar container. In our catalog Va de Rosas, we have several models that have this protection: Garden Rose, Natura Rose y Rose Dome.
Recommendations for proper care
Therefore, to maintain the freshness and beauty of preserved roses it is recommended to follow these tips:
-
Protect them from excess humidity: Avoid places with high relative humidity and use dehumidifiers if necessary.
-
Provide adequate outdoor protection: If you decide to display your preserved roses outdoors, be sure to place them in an area protected from direct sun and the elements.
-
Periodic inspection: Check your everlasting rose regularly for signs of deterioration and make necessary adjustments as needed.
