If you’ve ever tried to source preserved roses for your store, your brand, or your floral business, you’ve probably felt the same frustration I have: dozens of suppliers, inconsistent quality, vague pricing, and worst of all, silent suppliers after the deposit’s been paid. It’s a maze.


I’ve been in this industry for two decades and seen the preserved rose trend bloom—pun intended—from a niche curiosity to a must-have in gift boxes, retail displays, and event decor. But the challenge hasn’t changed: finding a wholesale supplier who’s reliable, consistent, transparent, and scalable.


That’s why I want to share a grounded guide, based on actual industry knowledge and what I see on the ground with our customers from the U.S., Europe, and Australia every single day.

1. Where Can I Find Preserved Rose Reliable Suppliers?


Top Sourcing Channels


If you’re just starting your sourcing journey, here are the most common places buyers begin:

  • Alibaba & Made-in-China – Huge variety, but be cautious: anyone can list.

  • Google Search – Effective if you know what keywords to use: try "preserved rose supplier factory direct", not just "wholesale roses."

  • Industry Trade Shows – Like the Canton Fair, NY NOW, or Ambiente in Frankfurt.

  • Referrals – Never underestimate the power of a recommendation from someone in your network.


Essential Due Diligence


Here’s what I always suggest my own customers look for:

  • Factory or Trading Company? Ask directly. A factory controls production. A trader resells—often at a markup.

  • Certifications – Legitimate factories should offer REACH, CE, and phytosanitary certificates. No exception.

  • Video Call – A 15-minute walk-through via video call shows more than a hundred pretty photos ever will.


Red Flags to Watch For


  • Vague answers about MOQs, timelines, or materials.

  • Fake photos lifted from other websites (use reverse image search if needed).

  • Pushy behavior or evasiveness around third-party audits or factory visits.

2. What Are Preserved Rose Wholesale Prices and MOQs?


Unit Price Ranges

Wholesale pricing can vary based on stem size, preservation technique, and order volume:

  • $1.99–$9.99 per stem is common on platforms like Alibaba.

  • Premium preserved roses, like our PARA ELLA line, can run slightly higher, especially for large head sizes or metallic-dyed colors.


Quantity Tiers

  • 50–100 stems: Entry-level, usually higher price per unit.

  • 100–500 stems: Standard wholesale pricing applies here.

  • 500+ stems: Deeper discounts, access to full color palette, better customization.


MOQ & Sample Options

Most trusted suppliers offer:

  • Low MOQ for samples (as little as 12–24 heads).

  • Custom sampling before mass production.

  • Flexible payment: T/T (wire transfer), PayPal for small orders, LC for big ones.


3. Which Preservation Methods and Quality Standards Apply?


Preservation Process

Here’s the real process behind a high-quality preserved rose:

  1. Selection of Grade-A Fresh Roses

  2. Dehydration in 75% Medical Alcohol

  3. Secondary Dehydration in 99.99% Ethanol

  4. Shaping with Setting Liquid

  5. Coloring with Food-Grade Pigments

  6. Natural Drying (1–2 months)


Shelf Life & Storage

  • 1 to 3 years under cool, dry conditions.

  • No watering. No sunlight. No humidity.

  • Customers often ask, “Will the color fade?” With our quality control—no. We've tested that.


Colorfastness & Palettes

Our roses come in more than 60 shades from classic red to dusty lavender to pearl white and metallics. Colorfastness is tested during production.


Certifications

The best suppliers, including us at Sweetie-Group, provide:

  • REACH

  • CE

  • Phytosanitary Certificates

  • Custom lab test reports (especially for imports to the U.S.)


Look for:

  • Symmetrical petal shape

  • No breakage at petal tips

  • Even dye distribution

  • Thick, full bloom



4. What Shipping Options and Delivery Times Are Available?


Production & Packaging

  • Lead Time: 2–4 weeks after sample approval.

  • Packaging: Bulk boxes for resellers, single-stem wraps, or premium gift boxes.


Shipping & Terms

  • Air Freight: Fast, more expensive. Best for urgent gift campaigns.

  • Sea Freight: Cost-effective for bulk. Slower.

  • FOB/CIF Terms: Both available based on your port.


Importing to the U.S.

You’ll want:

  • A commercial invoice

  • Packing list

  • Certificate of Origin

  • Phytosanitary Certificate


At Sweetie, we help our U.S. clients every step of the way. We’ve worked with Walgreens, Gifi, and boutique gift shops across California, Texas, and New York.
