A 24k Gold Dipped Rose begins with a specially grown, fresh cut flower. Only those roses selected for exquisite quality and shape are considered-exhibiting full petal, straight stem and shapely leaves. Each prime specimen picked goes through a 40-step process that will take 5 days to complete from start to finish. Available in approximate lengths of 9, 12 and 17 inches, the roses are arranged in three different bud styles: closed bud, semi-open bud, and open bud. Such care and attention results in some of the world's most beautiful roses, that can literally last forever, in shimmering 24-karat gold. ©
