Freeze Dried Rose Petals

Unless you're in the flower biz, you've probably never heard of freeze dried rose petals. But they're exactly what they sound like: natural rose petals that have been freeze dried, just like those doomsday rations everyone had in the back of their pantry a few years ago, just in case Y2K turned out to be something serious. Freeze dried rose petals may sound a little weird, but in fact they're the ideal solution to an annoying problem event planners have faced for decades: how can you use rose petals for table decorations, flower trails, and the like without having them wilt before you need them? The answer turned out to be freeze dried rose petals, which stay usable for months. Not only that, freeze dried rose petals are the real thing, just a little dryer. They're ideal for those situations in which your guest might notice artificial petals.

How it works

The process of making freeze dried rose petals starts with the freezing. Premium rose petals are selected and frozen at a temperature below -20 degrees Fahrenheit. All the air is then pumped out of the freezer and the temperature is gradually raised, allowing the ice in the petals to go directly from a solid to a gaseous stage, bypassing liquid water. It takes two weeks for the petals to gradually be brought up to room temperature, and by that point all the water originally in the petals is gone. The freeze dried rose petals remain in the shape they were in when they began the process, and will not wither or decompose, since they no longer contain any water. The freeze dried rose petals look just like fresh rose petals, but they'll last as long as you need them.

Everyone wants fresh rose petals for their event, but face it: it's easy to go wrong with the real thing. If the event gets delayed a day or two, there go all your rose petals, wilted to a fare-thee-well. One option is to purchase silk petals, which are inexpensive and can be reused; but they're obviously artificial at a short distance. Freeze dried rose petals are the ideal middle ground. They'll stay fresh looking and they're obviously real, and no one has to know they're freeze dried rose petals unless you tell them. Miss Rose Petals can provide you with freeze dried rose petals of dozens of different varieties -- gold, red, lilac, even green.

A few things to keep in mind about freeze dried rose petals

Freeze dried rose petals, while terribly handy, aren't perfect for every occasion. Nothing beats the scent, vibrant color, and satiny sensation of real, fresh rose petals, and those are features you can lose with the freeze dried variety. Not only that, freeze dried rose petals tend to lose their original scent. This can be remedied, however, by adding essential oils to the mix. Nor do freeze dried rose petals last for a year or more, as some vendors might claim; they're at their best for a few months, at most. After that you start losing color, and eventually the petals may fall apart. It won't happen overnight, though.
