Skin Cabbage Rose SO55 follows the rounded, cupped shape of an old-fashioned cabbage rose, with many petals curling around a deep, spiralling centre. What makes it different is that the petals are cut with the sola skin still on one side.
Where a petal turns, its bark-brown, lightly fibrous back is exposed next to the smooth ivory face, so the flower shows a natural pattern of cream and brown throughout. The outermost petals, spread wide behind the bloom, display the skin texture most clearly, almost like woven wicker or dried leaf.
No dye is used, so the two tones come entirely from the plant. This makes SO55 an easy fit for earthy, rustic and farmhouse décor, autumn arrangements, natural-themed weddings and eco-minded gift packaging, and it pairs naturally with jute, twine, cones and wood slices.
Floral Mongers supplies this skin-finish rose as part of its handmade sola flowers for wholesale and export, with size grading available on request.

Natural variation
Because the brown comes from the sola plant’s own skin, the balance of ivory and brown, and the texture of the skin, differ on every rose; handmade petal curling also varies 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
- Handle by the base; skin-backed outer petals can split along the grain
- 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
