Finding the Best Gold-Dipped Roses: Our Tips & Advice
Let’s talk gold-dipped roses!
After spending several hours researching this topic, including talking with a company that makes gold-dipped roses, we realized there are few important tips for this purchase. Here are a some key points to keep in mind:
• Most gold-dipped roses are actually edged in gold—that is, the flower, leaves and edged in 24-carat gold. That said, we also found a rose recommended by our readers that is completely dipped in gold (see later in this article). That is more expensive, of course.
• Consider the presentation box and packaging as well. The best gold-dipped roses come in an impressive-looking box that should include a stand to hold/display the rose.
• Most gold-dipped roses are “forever roses.” What is a forever rose? Forever roses occupy a space between fresh and silk—they ARE fresh roses that have been treated with preservatives. Exactly how that process works varies from maker to maker, but most use a solution that keeps the rose’s structure and shape. Yes, forever roses are often bleached and dehydrated, then colored/dyed to a desired hue (in most cases, red, of course).
One important piece of advice: most gold-dipped roses are fragile! Take care when handling. best gold-dipped roses

How We Pick Products To Recommend
We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.
When we test a product, we always purchase it with our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.
We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how it stands up in the real world.
In some cases, we will do interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.
To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses).
