Description
This is a single artificial rose on a long stem: one open purple bloom with layered, ruffled petals, and a spray of serrated leaves part way down the stem. It stands 66cm tall and measures 23cm across at its widest, so it is long enough to rise well clear of a tall vase rather than sit low in a jar. It is made from 70% polyethylene, 20% fabric and 10% iron, and the whole stem weighs 0.05KG. Polyethylene is a light, flexible plastic.
On its own, the stem suits a narrow bottle or bud vase on a bedside table, a windowsill, a desk or a hallway shelf, where a single bloom reads clearly at a glance. It also works as part of a larger arrangement, tucked among other faux stems and foliage to add a note of purple to a mixed bunch. An artificial flower needs no daylight and no watering, so it is a practical choice for a guest room that is not used every week, a dim landing, an office, or a holiday home left empty between visits. It makes a thoughtful small gift too, for a birthday, a thank you or someone who loves flowers but has little time for them.
The maker's care notes ask for a little preparation before use: trim the stem and fold it into place, which lets you set the length and the angle of the bloom and leaves to suit your vase. After that, handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerhead can break if treated roughly, so lift it by the stem when moving it. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, cut it so the bloom sits just above the rim of the vase, and turn the leaves outward so they frame the flower.
