The rose has been the main signifier for love, appreciation and romance, throughout the years. These elegant flowers are the perfect embodiment of affection and passion. But how does a Rose express so much emotion? The representation behind roses stems from the ancient Greek reference to Aphrodite – the goddess of love and has since been considered a sentimental gift, to represent affection.
Rose are often used to signify luxury, which is why they are used in a variety of different gestures. So how can you use your roses?
Proposals
Asking that special person to marry you can be breath-taking and nerve-wracking experience, but oh so rewarding when they say, YES! It’s a personal preference as to whether you choose an extravagant proposal, cue the fireworks, helicopter and destination of a lifetime. Or if you wish to keep it as just the two of you. Either way, being surrounded by luxury rose petals celebrates this special moment for the rest of your lives.
You could take your partner to their favourite restaurant, hire the entire place out, and fill the floor with rose petals. Or propose whilst on holiday right on the beach with the sand between your toes and a stunning walkway of petals?
Alternatively you could carefully place the ring inside a boxed Timeless Rose Stem and let them open it to reveal your heartfelt proposal and their beautiful new gift.
Anniversaries
Receiving a beautiful flower releases endorphins, that make your heart beat that little bit faster. Giving your partner a stunning Timeless Rose Stem that lasts up to a year serves as a constant reminder of your love and appreciation. As a Timeless Rose Stem has been carefully preserved, it will hold its colour and shape just like a fresh rose. Pop the champagne and celebrate in style. Why not add a scattering of petals on your dinning room table, or as a path up to the bedroom?
Weddings

There is a range of colours to choose from, whether you’re got a dainty pink and brushed grey bedroom, or duck egg blue and copper kitchen, it’s so easy to match your colour scheme.
Take time to have a little me time! Sprinkle your real rose petals in the tub with your favourite bath bomb or an essence of lavender oil and treat yourself to a bit of relaxation and indulgence.

Baby Showers & Gender Reveals
Gender reveals are becoming more ostentatious, with extravagant ways to announce the gender of your baby, such as; confetti cannons, extra-large cakes with coloured interior and even piñatas.
How about trying something a little different? Create your own Gender Reveal box filled with rose petals – either our gorgeous Chelsea Blue for a boy or our lovely Aphrodite pink for a girl (maybe even both). Securely attach the box up high with a string to open from the bottom, then pull the string for a flourish of coloured petals to fall over you and your partner and reveal to your friends and family, if it’s a boy or a girl! Make sure to capture on video and share with your friends and family that could’t make it too!
Our stunning rose cubes are available in 6 different colours – including Blue and Pink! The perfect table décor addition to any baby shower or gender reveal! With the ever-growing trend of extravagant baby showers, with flower walls and balloon arches – the timeless rose cube is sure to make an appearance. Be it as a gift, or merely to add a pop of colour to your wonderful celebration.
