4 ways to preserve roses gifted by your partner

Receiving a rose from your loved one can be a special memory. Here are 4 ways to preserve your rose and make the memory last forever. 

The book-pressing method

You can preserve your rose and make it last by keeping the flower in between the pages of a heavy book.

Air-drying method

Hang the rose upside down in a dry and well-ventilated area, as it will help prevent moisture from being trapped in the petals. Let it dry naturally for 2 weeks until the rose is entirely moisture-free.

Resin preservation 

Resin preservation is a great way to preserve your rose. It involves encasing the delicate blooms in a crystal-clear resin, which can also be used as jewellery.

Microwave preserving method

Place the rose on a greaseproof paper and set the microwave to the lowest setting to avoid overheating. This helps dry the rose and preserve it.
