Argent Roses

. . . a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves.
— Clive Bell

Here at Argent Rose Studios, we agree!  But, unlike live roses, ours will last a lifetime.  Individually handcrafted from mild steel with stainless steel stems, Argent Roses are then painstakingly hand airbrushed and finished with our own blend of paint.  It’s a 10-step process, from cutting metal to adding scent, and it makes each rose a unique flower.  Available in 3 different sizes and more than two dozen colors, there are a lot of flowers to choose from.

Our standard color palette includes 26 shades of roses, sure to catch the eye.  With every color of the rainbow in a variety of shades, as well as less traditional colors, there is sure to be something to match everyone’s tastes.  Our Jewel tones are deep and rich, in shades of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and more.  Our Frosts and Pearls are softer and color shifting, in pinks, pales blues, lavenders and others.  Perhaps your tastes are less traditional.  That is fine too, because Argent Roses also come in more off-beat colors, like black, silver, gold and bronze.  Every color is available in 3 sizes, to mix and match a unique bouquet.

Of course, a rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a rose of any other color may mean something quite different.  Roses have many different meanings depending on the color of their blooms, and we have enough colors to express every emotion — love at first sight, passion, sympathy, etc.

And because our shades are reminiscent of precious stones, we have given them gemstones names, to correspond with birthstones.  Argent Roses make wonderful and unique birthday gifts.  The colors themselves convey a variety of meanings and can let that special someone know you are wishing them prosperity, happy anniversary or even congratulations.  Find out more on our colors and meanings page by clicking the button below.

As if 26 colors and three sizes are not enough, Argent Roses creates specialty, limited edition items every season.  Created in small batch, limited quantities every year, these are special colors that are retired at year’s end and never offered again.  With special charms and year charms added, these commemorative roses are a step above our already beautiful palette.

With a dozen limited edition colors behind us, we are also beginning to offer seasonal roses, for holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day.  Visit our Limited Edition pages to see the current rose of the year.

As if making them look great wasn’t enough, you may be surprised to find out that even though our roses are handcrafted from steel, they can actually smell like the real thing! All Argent Roses come with a polyester scenting tab and a small vial of rose scenting oil to make them smell like real roses. Just place a couple of drops of rose oil onto the scenting tab and push it into the center of the flower. Just like that your Argent Rose will smell like a freshly picked rose! 

Naturally, we understand not everyone cares for the rose fragrance, or may even be allergic.  If you prefer that your rose not come with the Rose scent, you can choose the no scent option when you add it to your cart.

Aesthetic beauty and rose scent aside, the real magic of Argent Roses is that they will not wilt, fade or die. Of course, they do need a little care, here and there, to keep them shining. Every rose comes with care instructions for cleaning and re-scenting.  Sometimes a simple “poof” of canned air to blow the dust away is all you need to make your rose bright and shiny again. Since our roses do not like chemical cleaners or water, and the finish can be scratched if you’re not careful, we recommend using a soft small paintbrush for removing heavier dust from your rose.
