An eternal rose is a natural rose that has been preserved so it keeps its look for much longer than a fresh flower. It does not go in water and it does not need watering: you put it somewhere dry and it stays as a decoration. Klumba Flores is a florist we are preparing in Montevideo, and eternal roses will be among the things you can order.
We have not opened yet. This page explains what the products will be like and how ordering will work. There are no products or prices published, and we would rather say so plainly than show you something that does not exist. If you want to hear the day we open, leave your contact in the form below.
What eternal roses are
Eternal roses, also called preserved roses, are natural roses that go through a preservation process: the sap is replaced with a solution, usually glycerine-based, and sometimes the flower is dyed. The result feels soft and looks similar to a fresh rose, but it does not wilt the way a cut one does. They are not artificial: the petals belong to a real rose.
What we will offer
- A single eternal rose, in a dome or a box, as a simple, lasting gesture.
- Eternal rose bouquets, for people who want a bouquet that will not dry out within a week.
- Boxes and arrangements of eternal roses, designed as gifts.
- Classic colours: red, pink, white and other shades depending on availability.
Models and colours may vary depending on what we can source. Once the catalogue is ready, you will see each product with a photo and a price before you order.
How long an eternal rose lasts
This is a question that comes up a lot. Makers usually speak of one to three years, and some say more, as long as it is looked after. Treat that number as a reference, not a guarantee: real lifespan depends on the product, the light and the humidity of the room. For more on lifespan and care, read our guide to what eternal roses are.
Who an eternal rose suits
- Anniversary and couple gifts, to keep the memory.
- Birthdays and special dates, when you want something that outlasts a few days.
- Someone with no time for fresh flowers: no water, no daily upkeep.
- Gifts from a distance: if you live outside Uruguay and want to send something to a person in Montevideo, a long-lasting gift removes the pressure of timing.
How delivery in Montevideo will work
We will deliver to your door in Montevideo, with clear zones and time slots you will see before confirming the order. You will also be able to pick up your order at the shop. You can add a card with your message and arrange the delivery. For busy dates, it is best to order ahead.
How to care for an eternal rose
Keep it dry, away from direct sun, humidity and heat sources. Do not wet it or put it in water. Avoid handling the petals often: they are more delicate than they look. A little dust can be removed with a gentle puff of air or a soft brush.
