How are silver dipped roses made?

There are over 50 steps to create a silver dipped rose. Since we would rather not get into the fine details of every step included to produce the silver roses, we'll only share the most important steps. First and foremost, before anything happens to turn a real rose into a silver dipped rose, a rose must be selected when it is at the peak of it's bloom. Next, it is freeze dried, and then electro-plated with a secret blended formula preparing the real rose to become a silver dipped rose. Later, the petals and stems of every flower are repaired and reformed until the freshly preserved roses are ready for the pure silver finish. They are electro-plated in layers of copper, then nickel, and then the silver. It can take 3-6 months of hand work to finish these silver dipped roses, but once they are done, they will last a lifetime. Much like the love they are often used to represent.
