The specially grown, fresh cut color rose begins in the same fashion as the gold dipped and platinum dipped roses. Only those roses selected for exquisite quality and shape are considered-exhibiting full petal, straight stem and shapely leaves. After a prime specimen is picked, it goes through a 40-step process that will take 7 days to complete from start to finish. Each rose's vibrant color is captured in lacquer, and then trimmed in rich 24-karat gold to preserve true beauty. Available in an approximate length of 12 inches, the roses are offered in 15 different colors. Such care and attention results in some of the world's most beautiful lacquered, 24k gold trimmed, color roses, that can literally last forever. ©
