Rose Dipped In Gold
Have you ever seen a rose dipped gold flower? It's a real rose that has been hand-picked, preserved, and then dipped in 24K gold. It's then enclosed in lacquer so that both the beauty and color of the rose can be enhanced. 24K gold trim is even applied along the edges to finish it off. A rose dipped gold flower is a must have for anyone fond of these incredibly diverse plants.
One of the many reasons roses are grown all over the world is so we can benefit from having fresh cut flowers. And with the right care, many species of roses will last longer than just a few days after they have been brought into the house.
Preserving fresh cut roses as long as possible all begins at the moment of that first cut. The best time to do that is in the morning hours as the flowers have not yet completely opened. Clean and sharp tools should always be used so as to enure both a longer lasting flower and to prevent disease from transferring to the spot where the stem was cut. If possible, make the cut above a leaf joint, a bud, or lateral stem so as to encourage growth on the plant and to discourage disease from setting in.
Once the stem has been cut from the plant, cut it again at an angle so that the flowers will last that much longer. From the bottom of the stem remove the leaves along with the thorns and ensure not to leave fresh cut roses without water for very long.
Fresh cut roses should have their water changed every 2-3 days. And, leaves and petals shouldn't be left on the water as they will contribute to making the fresh water go stale. There are products on the market which can be used to feed cut flowers and by putting them into the water, it too will help the flowers last longer. If simple and cheap is preferred, a bit of sugar or salt can be added to the water instead.
Fresh flowers shouldn't be kept near fruit; if fruit is in its decomposition stage, it will aid in helping the flowers to die faster. Whether it's a rose or another type of flower, they will all last a lot longer when living in clean, healthy environments. Opening a window daily for fresh air can be a big help for fresh cut blooms.
With rose dipped gold flowers, there's no 'fuss' like there is with the real thing. A single rose dipped gold flower can be purchased or even a dozen; either way, all they will need in terms of care is some light dusting now and again. They can be placed anywhere in the home without 'fear' of dying and fresh air is not a daily consideration for them. At the end of the day, unlike with fresh cut roses, a dipped rose will last a lifetime.
