Ordered this to gift to my barber/hair stylist friend at a fancy shop in the West Village, New York City, and since she’s lesbian and fond of rainbows, I’d felt like this was a perfect fit for her. Normally whenever I stop by at her job for a haircut, I’d try my best to gift her something, as well as tip.
Given I’ve already sent a great present the month before (June) for Pride Month for her & her wife to enjoy, this rainbow rose captivated my eye, and honestly if I remembered earlier, I would’ve sent her this too! I was originally pensive on getting just a plain all gold or all platinum covered rose, but this one works like a charm. Yes there’s even one with Austrian crystals you can request too, but that’s too fancy for the occasion. The craftsmanship is spot on, no blemishes, the paint/dye isn’t splotchy or worrisome, and the rose used looks like it’ll last forever, or at least a very, very long time. I didn’t want to tempt anything, so this wasn’t engraved. I’m also glad the pricing was well within reach too, not prohibitively expensive, but not questionably a bargain.
I’ve also went with the Enchanted Upgrade for this rose, so although the stem is trimmed to around 7 to 8 inches (normally 12 inches) and permanently attached to the wood base, it does come with a glass dome. On the bottom of the wood base is your order number, to differentiate each handcrafted rose. When the rose (& attached wood base) and glass dome arrived, a heaping amount of protection came with it: packing peanuts, bubble wrap, to wrap around the rose, more bubble wrap and a separate box for the glass dome for the Enchanted Upgrade. In a way, I was well assured the items wouldn’t arrived damaged. Small con would be that if you order a rose with an Enchanted Upgrade, it doesn’t come with the free gift box Forever Roses normally come with, so you’d have to find your own creative way to pack/gift wrap it. The glass dome box was alright, but too small to ship with the rose & base attached, and the shipping box is too big to send to a friend/someone else to gift.
Luckily I’ve had an empty medium size shipping box of a multi pack of Oreos at home, so I’ve used that instead when I’ve wanted to see my friend almost a fortnight ago (Friday 21 July ‘23). Unfortunately she had back & shoulder pain, so she wanted to leave early for the day, so I’ve rushed from Coney Island to the West Village to drop the rose for her (I did contemplate giving her a pie, or even real/fresh roses too, didn’t out of the sake of time), and tipped her for the haircut I didn’t/couldn’t get in hopes it would’ve brightened her day. She didn’t open it, but I’ve previewed a few photos for her on my phone since after all I gave her an empty box of Oreos w/ the forever rose inside. My friend then thanked me and said I’m one of the nicest clients I’ve had in her career, and we’ve hugged. I’m hopeful I can see her in the coming days for a haircut & hear if she actually liked this. :D
Either way, thank you The Forever Rose for offering this product. I’m hopeful it’ll be nice for people gifting to friends or loved ones too, as much as it was to me. I’ll be sure to order another one in the near future.
I am so excited about my forever 24k dipped in gold rose my fiancé knew that i love roses so he wanted to surprise me he promised every anniversary I will be getting one.
Beautiful, put in center of the rest of flowers along with chocolate dipped rose, they look great

The color tint was more of a deep red violet than lilac. Was not the color I expected. Quality of the gold and acrylic finish was beautiful.
Garnet stones are characterized by a deep red color and red is often recognized as the color of love. With Garnet being the birthstone for the month of January, it makes the Garnet Forever Rose especially appropriate as a gift for your loved one born in the month of January or for sending the message of intense love.
Our Garnet rose is a deep, dark red and features red sparkles suspended in the highly reflective lacquered finish. The stem, tips of the petals, and tips of the leaves are plated in real, 24 karat gold.
Garnet is not just a birthstone. Gemstones have long been recognized to possess other spiritual meanings and powers. Garnet in particular has been said to possess curative properties and represents primordial fire. In the Talmud, an important part of Jewish theology, there is even a reference to the light source on Noah's Ark being a massive garnet stone. Garnets have also been significant to a variety of other cultures including indigenous Americans, African tribes, the Mayans and interestingly, was worn by both Christians and Muslims during the Crusades.
