So, you’ve got yourself a stunning Forever Rose. Whether it was a special gift from a loved one, a thoughtful gesture, or maybe you just wanted to treat yourself, you’re probably wondering how to keep it looking just as perfect as the day you received it. The good news? It’s incredibly easy! Unlike fresh flowers that wilt within days, a Forever Rose is designed to last for years (yes, years), and it requires almost no effort on your part. Let's walk you through the easiest ways to care for your Forever Rose and ensure it stays as gorgeous as ever.
What Makes a Forever Rose So Special?
Before we get into the care tips, let’s quickly go over what makes the Forever Rose so unique. These are real roses that have been carefully preserved to maintain their beauty for years to come. Whether you’ve got a 24K gold-dipped rose or a Classic Red Forever Rose, these special flowers are a perfect gift for someone who deserves something extra thoughtful and long-lasting. The preservation process is quite technical, involving the removal of moisture and the addition of non-toxic substances to keep the petals and stem looking fresh.
The Forever Rose has become particularly popular in the UAE, where gifting is such an important part of the culture. From birthdays to anniversaries, and even corporate events, a Forever Rose adds a luxurious touch to any occasion. If you’re curious about different types of Forever Roses, feel free to browse through our Forever Rose Collection, which includes an array of beautiful options, from gold-dipped roses to UAE Flag Roses.
Tip 1: No Water Required!
Let’s start with the best part: you don’t need to water your Forever Rose. Unlike fresh flowers, which need constant attention and care, a Forever Rose is completely independent. The preservation process ensures that it stays beautiful without the need for water, so there’s no need to place it in a vase. In fact, adding water can actually harm the rose and damage its structure.
Think of it this way: your Forever Rose is kind of like a piece of art. You don’t need to water your paintings, right? You just display them and admire their beauty. The same goes for your rose. Place it somewhere where you can enjoy it, and forget about watering it altogether.
Tip 2: Keep It Dust-Free
Even though your Forever Rose doesn’t need water, it does appreciate being kept clean. Dust can gather on the petals and base of the rose over time, especially in a place like the UAE where dust is common. To keep it looking pristine, all you need to do is:
- Use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle makeup brush to remove the dust.
- Avoid using water or cleaning products, as these can affect the preservation.
- Clean it lightly every few weeks, or whenever you notice dust accumulating.
One of the best places to display your Forever Rose is somewhere it can be admired without being disturbed too much. Perhaps on a shelf or a coffee table where it’s safe from daily dust storms but still gets the attention it deserves.

Tip 3: Avoid Direct Sunlight
Another important tip for keeping your Forever Rose in top condition is to avoid placing it in direct sunlight. Even though the rose is preserved, long exposure to harsh sunlight can fade the color over time, making it look a little worn. This is especially true for vibrant colored roses, like the Red Forever Rose or the UAE Flag Color Forever Rose, which need a bit of shade to stay vivid.
In the UAE, the sun can be quite intense, so it’s a good idea to place your Forever Rose in a well-lit room, but out of the direct rays. For example, placing it on a side table near a window, but not directly in front of it, is perfect. This way, you get the best of both worlds: natural light without the damaging effects of direct sun.
Tip 4: Handle with Care
While Forever Roses are durable, they can still be delicate when handled too much. The petals and stems are preserved to look natural, which means they can be fragile if you’re not careful. Ideally, try to limit touching the rose itself. If your rose is in a glass dome or protective display case, it’s best to keep it there. The display not only protects the rose from damage but also keeps it clean and dust-free.
Handling it too often, especially if the rose is uncovered, could lead to accidental bends or even broken petals. So, admire it as much as you want—but from a distance!
Tip 5: Watch the Humidity
Humidity is another factor to be aware of when caring for your Forever Rose, especially in the UAE where the climate can get quite humid at times. High levels of moisture in the air can affect the preservation of the rose. While your Forever Rose can handle normal room conditions, it’s best to avoid placing it in particularly humid environments, like bathrooms or kitchens, where steam and moisture are common.
If you live in a coastal city like Dubai, where humidity can rise during the summer months, you might want to place your Forever Rose in an air-conditioned room to ensure it stays at its best. Air conditioning helps to keep humidity levels low, which is perfect for maintaining the rose’s pristine condition.

Tip 6: Keep It Covered (If It Comes with a Dome)
If your Forever Rose came with a glass dome or a protective box, we recommend keeping it covered when possible. The dome not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also provides an extra layer of protection. It keeps dust, dirt, and accidental bumps away from the delicate rose. Plus, it really gives off that luxurious vibe, don’t you think?
Having a rose encased in glass also makes it easier to display, as you don’t have to worry about it getting knocked over or touched.

Tip 7: Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Extreme temperatures can be tough on a Forever Rose. Here in the UAE, we’re used to high temperatures, especially during the summer. While your Forever Rose is tough enough to handle most environments, it’s best to avoid placing it near heat sources, like radiators, or in hot, enclosed spaces like cars.
High heat can affect the preservation process and may lead to discoloration or damage over time. Keep your rose in a cool, well-ventilated room to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
Tip 8: Combine with Other Forever Roses
Here’s a fun idea—why not build a collection of Forever Roses? One Forever Rose is beautiful on its own, but a few displayed together can make an even bigger impact. Whether you’re adding more to your own collection or gifting a set to someone else, multiple Forever Roses can create a striking display.
You could mix and match different colors or styles, like pairing a gold-dipped rose with a Red Forever Rose. It’s an easy way to elevate your home decor and create a lasting impression.
