Hi there! I’m Annie, the CEO of Sweetie-Roses. Over the past 16 years, I’ve immersed myself in the world of flowers, devoting special attention to preserved flower gifts. In this article, I’ll combine my professional insights, personal anecdotes, and market observations to help fellow preserved flower buyers, sourcing managers, and business owners find reliable and high-quality suppliers for single preserved rose.

What Are Single Preserved Rose?

Before we dive into finding suppliers, let’s clarify what single preserved rose actually are. A single preserved rose is:

• A real rose, grown on a farm, harvested at peak bloom.
• Treated through a preservation process (often involving glycerin, non-toxic dyes, and other solutions) that replaces the flower’s natural sap and water content.
• Carefully colorized or enhanced (in some cases) to either preserve its original hue or add unique colors not found in nature.
• Packaged individually—sometimes in a small dome, a box, or even just as a loose flower head—making it a standalone product rather than part of a bouquet.

Evidence of Popularity:

• Social Media Trends: Single roses under glass domes (popularized by fairy-tale aesthetics) routinely accumulate thousands of likes on platforms like Instagram.
• Retail Demand: Many gift shops report that single preserved roses often outsell other types of preserved blooms because they offer a personal, intimate feel—perfect for gifting.
• Longevity: While a fresh rose might start wilting within a few days, a preserved rose can remain beautiful for up to a year or longer with minimal care.

Where to Look for Suppliers

Trade Shows and Exhibitions

I can’t stress enough how trade shows remain one of my favorite ways to find quality suppliers. I still remember the day I walked into my very first flower expo in the United States. I was immediately greeted by a rainbow of rose varieties—some fresh, some preserved, some dyed in neon colors I’d never seen before!

Online B2B Platforms

As much as I love physically attending fairs, I also understand the convenience of online sourcing—especially in today’s digital landscape. Platforms like Alibaba, Global Sources, Made-in-China, or specialized floral directories allow you to filter by product type (like single preserved roses), location, and minimum order quantity.

• Checking Reviews and Ratings: Always read the supplier’s reviews, paying close attention to any mentions of quality issues, delays, or communication challenges.
• Sampling: Order samples before making a large purchase. Evaluate color consistency, petal texture, and overall quality.

Direct Factory Partnerships

If you’ve got a stable or high-volume need for single preserved roses, forming a direct relationship with a factory may be the most cost-effective route. That’s exactly how we structure our partnerships at Sweetie-Roses—we often cooperate directly with B2B clients, customizing colors, packaging, and even shipping schedules. Direct communication typically leads to:

• Better Pricing: You eliminate the middlemen.
• Faster Problem Resolution: If there’s a quality concern, you’re talking directly with the production team.
• Supply Stability: Factories usually prioritize consistent orders from reliable partners, ensuring you get your shipments on time.

Local Wholesalers and Distributors

Depending on your business model, you might opt to buy from a local wholesaler. This can be a good choice if you need smaller quantities, want immediate availability, or don’t want to deal with complex international shipping. I’ve seen many US-based wholesalers who stock single preserved roses, typically in hot-selling colors like classic red, pastel pink, or pure white. This approach might be a bit more expensive per unit, but it saves on logistics and possible import headaches.

I hope this comprehensive look at “Where can I find a source for single preserved roses?” gives you the clarity and confidence you need to make smart decisions for your business.
