The Heavy Rose SO40 earns its name through sheer build. Behind a large, smooth ivory rose sits a thick collar made of many small, rounded petals, packed tightly in tiers until the flower becomes almost spherical.
Those backing petals are cut with the sola skin left on, so each shows a band of textured, straw-brown bark around a white pith face. The fibrous brown surface and occasional natural marks contrast sharply with the soft, rolled petals of the central rose, which looks cleaner and brighter by comparison.
The result is a heavier, more sculptural piece than a standard sola rose. It suits rustic and natural interiors, harvest and winter styling, and dried arrangements where a single bold head needs to hold its own among cones, pods and grasses. On a gift box or diffuser bottle it acts as a strong focal point.
Floral Mongers supplies SO40 as a handmade sola flower for wholesale and export buyers, in the natural two-tone finish, with size grading available on request.

Natural variation
The brown bands on the backing petals come from the natural skin of the sola stem and vary in colour, width and texture, while the handmade build means the fullness and roundness of each rose differ slightly. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Store in a cool, dry place; sola pith takes up moisture from humid air
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight so the ivory and brown tones stay distinct
- Lift by the base of the collar; avoid pressing the central rose
- Dust gently with a soft brush or a hair-dryer on a cool setting
- Diffuser or fragrance oil can be applied; test one piece first, as oil may darken the pith
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
