Roses That Last 1 Year

A luxury florist based in New York City is promising real roses that last over a year, and arrive as perfect as when they were first plucked. They even smell fantastic, and you don't have to do a thing to keep them alive. Sound too good to be true?
Sunny Chadha and Seema Bansal say eternity roses are a reality with their brand, Venus et Fleur. It all started when the two were first dating. Sunny and Seema were living in different cities, and it was Valentine's Day. He did a bit of research and found a luxury florist, to send Seema roses. But what they sent was nothing like what he thought he was sending.
That disappointment led the couple to come up with Venus et Fleur. They wanted high-end flowers that would leave a lasting impression, so they created eternity roses that live 51 weeks longer than most others.
Seema says you just need to take care of them properly. And there isn't much to their care. Don't water, pluck or clean them. She advises keeping them away from sunlight, heat and humidity.
So how do they do it? Seema says the roses are real roses, grown in Ecuador, which are cut at their most peak and perfect state. They're then treated in a proprietary formula--she'll only say that formula is wax-based. After they're treated they can be dyed any color.
Venus et Fleur offers 18 options and can custom dye their roses to match any Pantone shade. Seema came up with the design, tying fashion and luxury into their florals. She wanted it to be a Parisian product, so she went with a hatbox style of packaging and a French name.
And the roses are a hit.
Seema and Sunny launched in New York in August of 2015, fully funding Venus et Fleur themselves. Just six months later, on Valentine's Day, they completely sold out after the Kardashians posted two of their boxes.
Their entire company was shocked when Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian posted photos of Venus et Fleur arrangements within 15 minutes of each other. Their remaining flowers were all gone that day.
Since then, their customer base has grown to 7,000 plus, including singer Jesse James Decker and actress Shay Mitchell.
They've even made a custom 'Major Key' for DJ Khaled.
Venus et Fleur can make custom arrangements for any occasion: a heart or a number for an anniversary, or someone's initial. They even wrote Fox 5 in an arrangement of blue and red roses.
Custom Grandiose arrangements like DJ Khaled's Major Key start at $1,499. Do a single eternity rose for $39 or a box of 9 mini eternity roses for $79. Small boxes start at $299 for 12-16 full-sized eternity roses, in their signature hat box.
That box serves two purposes. Seema loves how the roses are the first thing you see, because they pop right out of the box. Sunny points out how they don't shift in transit, leaving, as they hoped, a lasting impression.
Venus et Fleur also does boxes of traditional roses that last about a week starting at $159.

[@leviradford707]

Every single post on here is about the guy who ruined the arrangement.

[@ezekielbeltran1189]

God damnit Steve!!!!! I was about to buy some and you RUINED IT hahaha

[@tramany7]

I have the blush pink roses in the white square box for over a year now and they still look brand new I am about to order another set in their acrylic case these roses are just gorgeous you guys so worth the money!!!

[@genregurl]

Do they smell like Rose's?

[@xelarengam7047]

The funny thing is people waste hundreds on these, it took me about a week to figure out how to make them, it literally costs a few dollars and is not difficult, just dyed and preserved roses in a little box, these people literally use less than 5$ to make these and then sell them for hundreds of dollars 😅

[@preservedflowers5606]

What is the chemical formula?please

[@JESUSSAYYES]

My baby got them for me for my birthday ..they smell amazing

[@mikeysalvez2677]

Creole Beauty do you still have them?

[@iMsOiNsO]

Do you still have your baby?

[@Edwin-bf1js]

do you still have a birthday

[@cunolatin]

Damn it Steve!

[@yaimavol]

The "proprietary" secret is out. You can find out how to wax roses all over YT.

[@xelarengam7047]

It took me over a week to figure it out on my own, now I feel stupid for not just checking KZbin 😂

[@katchix66]

The reviews on Yelp are horrible for 2/14/ 18 ruined so may peoples Valentine's Day and so many didn't even get them or $$$$$$$ back.So sad...

[@diegocast199717]

Well, actually when you rip any petals off those flowers by accident you just need to grab a hot glue gun and a few drops will make the trick, these flowers are no longer alive and to make the bud of the rose even bigger, Japanese companies actually paste the petals with hot glue.

[@xokree]

Damn Steve lawd!

[@wtf9599]

Kreeoshia Burks-Moore right tho...

[@AntonioRamirez-tz2vp]

second 35, Lady this was not invented by this pair of lovely lovers in NY, this was invented in Colombia more than 18 years ago and I know the guy who made it possible.

[@diegocast199717]

Exactly! Plus Colombia also preserves the stems, leaves and other varieties of flowers, making amazing long lasting arrangements instead of those basic boxes.

[@LadyAyoola]

@@diegocast199717 how do they preserve the full stem?

[@viksra]

How do they make it still fragrant after coating it in wax? Do they spray a rose scented perfume on them?

[@crezcamosjuntos4067]

They are not waxed

[@m.s.1715]

The owner literally said they use a wax-based formula. Proprietary that she can't talk about. ​@@crezcamosjuntos4067

[@m.s.1715]

It has to be an artificial fragrance because if the flowers aren't alive anymore there's no way they could be exuding a natural fragrance. That was my guess as well.

[@viksra]

@@crezcamosjuntos4067 a few owners of these kinds of flower companies have said they coat them in wax. The question then becomes how does it still remain fragrant.

[@josemanuel60]

I wonder how much they were before that post.

[@sukamalroy1]

Why are my (silicon pouring )dry flower petals color changing, there is no petals color dignity...any suggestion please.

[@prettyprudent5779]

Beautiful. But where are the stems??

[@hieronymousblack3364]

Exactly! One of the best parts about looking at roses are the stems

[@melaldonza9753]

Originaly from Korea

[@216Vonnie]

The roses are dried with silica beads

[@private-1]

Oooops! LOLOL

[@jimmyjames_yt]

I’ve been sending flowers. I’m also not happy. They’re never like the pictures ☹️

[@ak5235]

I need the solution for these.

[@BrenB125]

A dust collector.

[@hieronymousblack3364]

I'm so happy for their success but I just couldn't. I hate the scent of roses and I love seeing them naturally in nature.

[@elizabethsepulveda9743]

The smell of those roses are very neutral, and is not a strong smell.

[@henrywong2375]

Nah. Chemicals. I want natural smelling ones

[@aidemaldonado6980]

Stupid guy messed up the arrangement 🙄😳

[@alexandramn6734]

they have alot of bad reviews (not shocking for an Indian owned business) and they did not invent this product! Plenty other companies already do it, they just copied the idea. order elsewhere.

[@wannabebeautyguru8075]

alexandramn Maison Des Fleur was the original I beieve

[@lillianvictoria6689]

what does it have to do with them being Indian

[@rohitpatiil]

Lillian Victoria he is just racist..he doesn’t know Indians rules the world...

[@hieronymousblack3364]

Wow! Just had to state the fact that it's because it is an 'Indian' owned business why there are problems.

[@hieronymousblack3364]

@@lillianvictoria6689 thank you!

[@M116saetern]

Not a fan of these artificially dyed roses. I prefer natural flowers in their natural colors. Discrepancies & all. I don’t want to look at the same thing for a year. That’s what fake flowers are for. I like switching out different flowers. Variety is good.
