‘Real roses that last, no water, no sunlight, just beauty’.

Freakish but not actually eternal, a mix of glycerin and proprietary “natural plant elements” replacing the sap keeps the roses in a bizarre state of suspended animation for one to three years.

The success of these zombie roses as a Valentine’s gift will vary wildly depending on the recipient.
