Are those golden roses going to last long without fading?

Yes. I have not had any problems with mine. i do Always hand wash immediately after using (i.e. I do not leave them with food dried and stuck to them overnight, and I store them in a flatware chest so that they are protected and not rubbing against each other. They are a beautiful set and I am very careful with them as k want them to look new every time I use them!

No, they will last for many, many years. Only tinned-lined copper needs to be re-tinned.

They are made of plastic so they will probably last quite a while. You just have to clean them up every so often.

Absolutely!! I've had them for almost 2 yrs now and they are completely exposed to the elements. So far, no complaints. They have kept color after two major winter storms and steamy hot summers.

My roses are gorgeous! They have finally matured and it creates a lovely hedge of rich red to hot pink roses! I am always getting compliments. You will love them!

Haven't had mine long enough to know. I do not anticipate they will last any longer, and they definitely are not as bright. But they sure are pretty!!

I have had mine installed for 3 months and no fading with use, in fact I think it looks better the longer it is on. I was hesitant about buying the product but was really amazed at how easy it is to use and how nice it looks after installation.

It depends. The company claims that the seeds will last 10 years; however, I am always suspicious of this. If the seeds are kept in a cool, dry place then yes, they will last a long time.

Absolutely not!!! Old Country Roses has a metal trim. It will probably overheat and crack the piece.

I got this set about 2yrs ago and it has yet to fade (though I haven't tested it in direct sunlight) and I haven't gotten them wet so I don't know at this point.

Mine hasn't and I've had it for a few months. It's plastic so it's not likely to fade for a while.

Idk. I should checked though. Because the flower colors faded within three weeks. Too late for me; but not for you.

These are completely rubbery plastic coated, so as long as that remains intact, should hold up. However, remember that sunlight will break down this coating, and weather conditions and animals and birds will have access to them, so probably only good for a few years if not protected from the outside. On the bright side, they are easily removed and a coating of Rustoleum if they begin to look shabby should take care of the problem plus you can pick your paint color then!

I would say yes, but if they are in direct sun they may get brittle and discolor over time.

Absolutely ... and they are spectacular looking!!! They last a REALLY long time too! I have yet to see them go out before the sun comes up. As a side note, if they stop working, open up the controller box. We had trouble with most of our strings and found glue in the way of the contacts inside - easy free fix and it just took minutes. They truly are beautiful lights!

It's too soon for me to tell, Terry. They have been installed only a couple of months. No fading yet, but they are in partial shade and somewhat protected from some sun. I will tell you that if you're looking for light from them, in any quantity, they don't deliver. They light up, but don't really provide any security-type lighting; strictly decorative.

In my opinion, it will takes years of growth for the flowers to smell upon walking up to the vines. I've only had them planted one summer, but I have smelled a huge quantity of this vine at once, and it is a *beautiful* smell. Just don't expect it for another 2-4 years, I would expect.
