Our Story
Real Ecuadorian Roses, Preserved to Last a Year
From Our Fields to Your Door
Most rose companies buy their flowers. We grow ours.
Premium Roses grows real roses on our own farms in Cayambe and Llano Grande, high in the Ecuadorian Andes. We preserve them at our own facility using a plant-based process, and we set every stem by hand into suede-lined boxes built to our own design. No brokers, no importers, no third parties.
From the field to your door, no one else touches the process. That is why our roses last a year or more, and why they look the way they do.
It Starts on Our Farms in Ecuador
Ecuador sits on the equator, and our farms sit high in the Andes. That combination is the reason Ecuadorian roses are the ones florists ask for by name.
Twelve hours of direct sun every day of the year. Cold Andean nights. Volcanic soil that holds its nutrients and moisture. Roses grown in these conditions take far longer to mature than roses grown at lower altitude, and they use that time to build bigger heads, stronger stems and deeper colour.
We do not source these roses. We grow them.
The harvest
Picked by Hand, at Peak Bloom
Every rose is cut by hand by our own team, at the exact point of bloom we want. Not early to survive a long shipping route, and not late to clear inventory.
Because the farm and the preservation facility are both ours, a rose can go from the field into preservation the same day it is cut. That window is everything. It is the difference between a rose that holds its shape and colour for a year and one that quietly fades in a few months.
Preserved at Our Own Facility
This is the part most companies never show you, because most companies do not do it themselves.
Our roses are preserved at our own facility using a plant-based process that replaces the natural sap inside every petal. Nothing is dried out and nothing is artificial. The rose stays soft to the touch, keeps its natural shape, and holds its colour for a year or more with no water, no sunlight and no care of any kind.
Every single rose is inspected by hand before it earns a place in a box.

Set by Hand, in a Box We Designed
Our boxes are not bought off a shelf. They are built to our own design and lined in suede, because a gift meant to last a year should feel like one from the moment it is opened.
Each arrangement is set by hand, one rose at a time, then checked again before it ships.
Chicago Same-Day, Shipping Nationwide
We are based in Chicago. We deliver same-day across the city and the North Shore, including Northbrook, Winnetka, Deerfield and Highland Park, and we ship nationwide.
We also rent preserved-rose centerpieces for weddings and events, so the flowers on your tables look exactly as good at the end of the night as they did at the start.
Why It Matters That We Own Every Step
Most preserved roses pass through several hands before they reach a box. A farm, an exporter, a preservation plant, a wholesaler, and finally a brand that puts its name on the lid.
Every one of those handoffs costs time, and time is exactly what a rose cannot spare.
We removed all of them. One team, one farm, one facility, one standard, from the day the rose is planted to the day it arrives at your door.
