How do I preserve a rose that is very special to me?

I was given this yellow rose from my husbands' grandmas' funeral this afternoon (actually 2 long stemmed roses) and I would really like to know how to preserve it and keep it ....hopefully forever but...the key is...in the same shape that it is now???!!!!!! Can anyone help me keep this rose for years and years to come any suggestions???

I have many roses that I have dried and some of them are as much as 20 years old. They will not look identically the same as when they are fresh once dried. All I do is hang them upside down in a place that is out of direct sunlight and not humid. In 10 days to 2 weeks the rose is completely dried and you can put it in a vase. I have a rose from my sister's funeral and all the roses from the spray on my mom's casket saved this way.
Reply:Spray lightly with hairspray, and leave it alone.
Reply:Get it dipped in gold or keep it as it is, just try not to move it often. I have a few that are dried up that I keep in a keep safe box.
