Platinum Dipped Roses are produced in limited quantities due to higher production costs and low availability of platinum. Like the 24k Gold Dipped Rose, a Platinum Dipped Rose begins with a specially grown, fresh cut flower. Only those roses selected for exquisite quality and shape are considered ­ exhibiting full petal, straight stem and shapely leaves. Each Prime specimen picked goes through a 40-step process that will take 5 days to complete from start to finish. Available in approximate lengths of 9, 12 and 17 inches, the roses are arranged in three different bud styles: closed bud, semi-open bud, and open bud. Such care and attention results in a unique and beautiful rose. ©
