Austin Rose, Ivory 57cm Faux Stem

In stock
Sale price$8.99

The Austin rose is the one with the tightly packed, cupped centre, the shape that makes an English garden rose look generous rather than formal. This faux version keeps that density, with many layered petals in a soft ivory that shades to warmer cream at the heart, and green foliage down the 57cm stem.

Ivory is the useful colour. It reads as white in a bright room and warms up against timber and linen, so it sits in almost any palette without needing anything else to make sense of it.

Austin roses are also known as English roses, garden roses or cabbage roses, so if that is what you have been searching for, this is the same full, cupped bloom.

How many stems do I need for a bouquet?

Five to seven gives you a full rose bouquet on its own. Three works well when mixed with hydrangea for volume and a foliage stem for movement. One in a bud vase is enough on a bedside table.

Can I trim the stem?

Yes. The stem is wired, so it cuts cleanly with wire cutters to suit a shorter vessel, and it bends if you want the head to face a particular way.

Will it fade?

Dust it occasionally and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and it will hold its colour far longer. Strong sun fades any faux stem over time.

Is it suitable for weddings?

It is a common choice for bridal bouquets, table styling and ceremony arrangements, because it survives a whole day and the trip home afterwards without wilting.

Why you will love it

  • Full, cupped Austin rose head with many layered petals
  • Soft ivory that warms to cream at the centre, so it never reads flat white

Styling tips

  • One stem in a bud vase for something quiet and romantic on a bedside table.
  • Five to seven in a fluted or ribbed vessel from our vase collection for a proper rose bouquet.
  • Clustered with hydrangea or eucalyptus from the artificial flora range for a full, textured arrangement.
  • Mixed with blush, champagne or darker toned stems for tonal contrast rather than a single flat white.
  • On a hall console beside a lamp, where the cupped shape catches the light.

Gifting

Five stems and a ceramic vase makes a gift that outlasts a fresh bouquet by years, which suits an anniversary, a housewarming or a thank you. Browse the rest of our faux flowers, or get in touch if you would like an arrangement built for a particular vessel.

Pairs beautifully with the Kim Ceramic Vase for a ready-made arrangement.
