Roses That Last Forever
When one receives a rose, the hope is always that it will last forever. Unfortunately, the real thing doesn’t last long especially when they are fresh cut. If you are lucky enough to live in a place that is warm year round, a forever rose garden is a distinct possibility.
Given how time consuming and difficult it is to grow roses, not to mention their short shelf life after they have been cut, opting to buy roses made of materials like crystal, gold, silver, and porcelain, is another way to keep a gold rose that lasts forever.
The transformation of the rose flower from the wild plant it started out as to the 30,000 varieties that exist today, is quite remarkable. A gold rose lasts forever is a fitting title for a flower that has been around for 35 million years. Experts today tend to divide roses into two groups: ‘old roses,’ which were cultivated in Europe prior to 1800, and ‘modern roses’ – cultivated in both England and France around the turn of the 19th century. Up until the beginning of the 19th century, the only color roses were found in were various shades of pink and white. The red rose was first introduced by China in 1800. A few decades later, green roses began to exist. Yellow roses became part of the rose color palette in 1900. They were discovered by accident by Frenchman Joseph Permet-Ducher. He had been cultivating roses for twenty years and in that time had searched desperately for yellow roses. While in a field one day, he came across a mutant yellow flower and both yellow and orange roses have existed ever since. It seems fitting that a forever rose of yellow coloring means joy and gladness – Mr. Permet-Ducher likely had these very same feelings after his chance discovery.
Every year, on every holiday, or occasion, gifts tend to come and go. The gift of a gold rose that lasts forever, is a memory for a lifetime, given the sentiment roses invoke. From the ancient civilizations of Greek and Rome, roses have been used to express feelings of love for thousands of years. The same stands true today. The rose has also represented love in music, literature, and poetry – it’s no wonder they are referred to as the ‘Queen of Flowers.’
A gold rose that lasts forever is unsurpassed in its beauty and given there are 50 colors to choose from, you can never go wrong when picking one (or two or three). If you live in a place where snow blankets the ground for much of the year, as the seasons change, choose a different forever rose to display in your home to commemorate the transition. It can serve as a reminder that summer is not so far off and that soon enough, roses will once again be in bloom.
