A bouquet of flowers is as quintessentially Valentine's Day as it gets. Unfortunately, for as much as you spend on them, it's still pretty unlikely that they'll survive much longer than the 18th. This specially designed rose, on the other hand, will live for up to five months without any need for a vase or watering. Just pick one of the dozen different scents and enjoy the smell of fresh-cut roses for over ten times longer!
