Eternity roses can last 2-3 years with proper care, making your per-day cost of floral arrangements as low as it can get. They’re often the preferred choice of bloom for decor, gifting, and even weddings. Not only do they double as keepsakes from your special days but they’re also quite eco-friendly.
If you’re new to preserved roses, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Decorating your space or creating fancy floral arrangements with these everlasting roses presents countless opportunities and a lot of creative freedom.
We’ve created a list of our top favourite uses for these beautiful blooms to help inspire your creativity. So, what’s the delay? Let’s jump right in!
7 Ways To Decorate With Eternity Roses
As mentioned, you can get as creative with your eternal rose box as you’d like. These are just a few examples that we, as expert florists, really love.
1. Dress Your Fruits with Eternity Roses
Did you know, roses are edible? That’s right! In addition to offering a stunning display for your space, these double as edibles. If you’re planning a dinner party and want to find a better way to serve your fruit-based dessert, consider adding rose petals.
These will prove to be a nice surprise for your guests and bring more variety to your dessert’s taste. You can practically add them to any sweet treat or fruit-based dishes. Their floral taste and scent are easy to pair with a lot of the common cuisines.
And if you’re unsure about using them as food, you can always present your dishes with rose-petalled decor on the side.
2. Make a Wreath
While popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas times, wreaths are no longer confined to special occasions and seasonal displays. They’ve become a common decor piece used all year round to enhance exterior and interior spaces.
And what’s better than roses that last forever to use for a four-season decor item? Eternity roses add life to wreaths with their varying colours and sizes and also offer a scented environment to homeowners and guests.
You can also use preserved roses in varying shades of white, cream, and ivory for a festive flower arrangement or as your wedding anniversary decor.
3. Add to Your Potpourri
Adding everlasting roses to your potpourri will not only make it smell amazing but also increase its lifespan. While you can use a variety of different essential oils and flowers, roses are specifically a great pick and one of the most popular ones too.
If you’re going for a more traditional look, consider adding only red-coloured eternity roses. Alternatively, you can use pink or yellow roses for a gorgeous splash of colour. Here’s how we like to make it:
- Remove the petals from your preserved roses and put them in an airtight jar.
- Add half a cup of lavender to the jar.
- Add lavender and rose essential oils to ensure its fragrance lasts a long time.
- Close and shake the container.
- Leave the mixture for at least 2 days.
- Open it and add more essential oils or fragrances if needed.
- You can also add cinnamon, orange peel, or cloves if you’re making it for Christmas.
3. Make Your Living Room More Comfortable
Your living room should hold decor items that uplift the entire space and bring a sense of cheerfulness. There’s nothing better than roses to incorporate that aesthetic into your living room. Remember to use them sparsely as too many roses can look overwhelming.
Moreover, if you already have a busy decor with lots of colour and vibrancy, consider adding pastel roses instead of the traditional red ones. Red eternity roses look best with darker backgrounds.

4. Hanging Flower Pots
If your aesthetic leans more toward boho themes, you can hang rose flower pots in your living or kitchen areas. Consider adding a lot of foliage and greenery to your arrangement to make it authentically boho. From pastel tones to the classic, bold red colour, you can use any of your favourites for a romantic boho feel.
5. Use as Centrepieces
You can go for a wide, low vase instead of a tall one placed in the middle of the dining table. The former will spread the eternity roses out and highlight their beauty to a great extent. Go around and place individual roses around the circumference of the vase. Next, layer the roses on top of each other.
Remember to trim the stems before placing them in the vase to create a circular shape. Utilise contrasting hues to showcase your unique aesthetic.
6. Place on the Mantelpiece
Use smaller vases lined up across your mantelpiece and place individual roses in them. Alternatively, you can also create a small bunch, tie it together with a decorative ribbon, and add other accessories. You can create a more vintage look and lay them along your mantelpiece for a more vintage feel.
7. Utilise Coordinating Vases
To add a pop of colour to a neutral room, use contrasting vases with a pop of colour to keep your eternity roses. You can also go for neutral hues for a room already busy with decor. Choose spacious vases of varying sizes and ensure their colours and sizes are fit for the area of the house you’re decorating. Experiment with different dimensions and materials to find the perfect fit.
A Few Things to Remember
While decorating with eternity roses is quite straightforward, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help elevate your space.
- Different colours evoke different emotions, so choose the colours wisely.
- Consider the sizes according to the specific size of your display, the area you’re decorating, and the specific type of arrangement you want.
- If you’re adding your eternity roses to a smaller space, choose those with a subtle fragrance.
- To balance the scent and add more depth, consider adding other florals and foliage.
- Remember to keep the roses dust- and moisture-free to keep them looking fresh.
