Pink Rose Buds (0.5kg)

Product Overview

Whole pink rose buds, dried closed rather than open, grown in Iran. Buds rather than petals means each one keeps its spiral of overlapping sepals, which is why they scatter well and photograph well, and why they last as decoration long after loose petals would have gone to dust.

The Story Behind It

Iran has grown roses for scent and for drying for well over a thousand years, and the practice is old enough to have its own season: the rose harvest in Kashan and the surrounding towns runs through late spring, with the flowers picked before dawn while the oil content is highest. The buds dried this way keep their shape because they are gathered closed, before the flower has opened.

Auro & Co Moment

Scatter buds rather than arranging them. Their appeal is the repeated shape, so a loose handful across a table or shelf reads better than a careful pile, and any that end up on the floor look intentional rather than dropped.
