Gold Plated Rose History

Gold plating a rose makes this delicate bloom last forever. One of the many benefits of having a gold-plated rose is that despite the thickness, karat purity, or even the colour of the object, the surface of the original rose is never compromised.

Everywhere in the world, people have discovered fossils of roses over the years. Findings have proved that this beautiful flower actually existed in pre-historic times. They have been found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Plus, petrified rose wreaths have been discovered.  These wreaths were used in faith ceremonies due to people having spiritual beliefs associated with this fragrant flower.

Roses made their way from the East to Europe via the Crusaders. In some circles it's believed that the early tea roses got their name thanks to the tea clippers responsible for the transportation of the roses from India. Still others believe that the scent of the tea rose actually describes their name.

With more than 30,000 varieties of roses to choose from, gardeners throughout the world chooses the rose flower as their most favorite flower. With this endorsement, it's no wonder that a  gold plated rose is so highly sought after. A rose encased in gold, preserves the delicate petals of the flower and is kept throughout time, which gives the owner the opportunity to enjoy them over & over again.
