subject: Gold Plated Rose [print this page] Roses and gold are both, symbols of beauty and worth. Since fresh cut roses don't endure, a gold plated rose is the second best thing Gold plated roses are roses that have been selected at the very peak of blooming so they can be preserved and formed into something that will keep forever. After undergoing a forty step process, they are polished off in gold and then passed on to artisans and technicians for the final finishes. As each gold plated rose is hand-crafted, no two are ever alike.
A gold plated rose is an item to present as a gift for an exceptional moment (like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day), or for a person who adores fresh cut flowers but would never think to buy something like these exquisitely crafted flowers for themselves. Unlike fresh cut flowers, a gold plated rose will last a lifetime and not require the type of care that goes into the real thing. The rose flower has a long history, dating back to 35 million years and through cultivation, 30 thousand varieties can be found today. Roses have been used in everything from medicines to cosmetics and many parts of the plant have beneficial uses.
Even though a gold plated rose does not have medicinal properties it will certainly put a smile on a loved one's face. It would be a particularly thoughtful gift for someone battling an illness or for someone sick in a hospital. And with many examples proven throughout history of the useful purposes of the rose for numerous remedies, a gold plated rose would be the most suitable representation of all the good the rose can do.
