Verdissimo Launches ‘Forever Fresh Rose’ At International Floriculture Expo

Houston, TX — Complimenting the many color options of the long-lasting rose, is a 500+ range of similarly preserved extreme-life flowers, plants and trees, from orchids to cedars and palms, lasting up to 8years without any water or maintenance. To see a preserved roses demonstration go to www.ubloom.com.

The number one complaint received by florists from purchasers and recipients alike is that fresh cut flowers don't last – sometimes less than a week. Verdissimo USA resolved the problem with the goal to make both flower giving and receiving a lasting experience.

Verdissimo developed a proprietary process, using a patented, organic solution that mixes with the sap of the fresh flowers extending their 'just-cut" appeal for years, maintenance free. The company preserves a large variety of botanicals at its three factories in Colombia, Ecuador and Spain. From hotels, hospitals and office buildings, to florists and home décor retailers worldwide, Verdissimo's naturally preserved flowers, plants and trees deliver the wellness of real flowers at a fraction of the costs of live florals.

Dimitri Papakyriacou, vice president of Verdissimo's U.S. Operations stated, "The Forever Fresh Rose is bringing back the single rose. It's the perfect gift for your sweetheart, mother, friend or colleague." Considering that everyone loves to receive roses, Dimitri added, "Preserved flowers make perfect event favors for weddings, celebrations, company events, and as a long-lasting corporate gift experience."
