One of the most beloved flowers throughout the ages, roses represent love. In Victorian times the color of the rose indicated different levels of affection. A white rose was for innocent love; a blush pink rose was for blossoming romance; and a deep red rose for passion. In Greek myth, Chloris, the goddess of flowers, is said to have turned a beautiful, dead nymph into a rose. She invited Apollo to warm the bloom, Aphrodite to lend it her beauty, Dionysus to add sweet nectar and the three Graces to supply charm, joy and magnificence. Chloris called the rose the “Queen of the Flowers.”

These gorgeous blooms are handmade from crepe paper, wire and glue and dyed using beet juice. The nature of the natural coloration means the color may fade over time. You can select whether you want a lighter color or a more vibrant color, and I will do my best to pick out the ones that suit your needs. Price is per stem and production time is about two weeks to make. As with all my products, leave a note at checkout if you have special requests and I will do my best to fulfill your wishes.
