Product Details

Rose Heart Box Fresh roses set into a heart-shaped hat box using floral foam — oasis — that holds water and keeps the stems hydrated. The arrangement is designed to stay in the box. The box is the vase. Moving the flowers out of the foam would cut off their water supply and they'd go off quickly. You display it as it arrives, inside the box, and add water to the foam every day or two to keep it going. Hat box colours are pink, red, or black. Note a preference when ordering. Availability varies. How oasis works Floral foam is a water-retaining material cut to fit the box. The rose stems are pushed directly into it, which holds them in position and releases water continuously as they drink. The foam was saturated before the arrangement was made, so the flowers arrive hydrated. After the first couple of days they'll have taken most of that initial supply through, so topping up regularly matters. Add water directly onto the foam — not poured over the flowers — every one to two days. A small amount at a time is enough. You're keeping the foam consistently damp rather than flooding it. If water pools at the bottom of the box, you've added too much. The roses Fresh, chosen on the day the arrangement is made. The colour follows the register in the product images — the exact shade may vary slightly between batches because they're picked from what's in best condition rather than from a fixed stock. If you have a specific colour in mind, mention it when ordering. The roses are set at a consistent height across the heart shape. It's a dense, even surface — a lot of flowers filling a specific form. It reads differently from a vase arrangement. Less loose, more structured, more immediately legible as a designed object. Where to put it The arrangement is designed to be seen from above and from the sides, so it works best somewhere it has space around it — a dining table centrepiece, a coffee table, a hallway console. It doesn't work well against a wall where the back half of the heart isn't visible. Mid-room or at the front of a surface is the right position. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Oasis arrangements dry out faster than vase arrangements because the foam surface is exposed to air. A cool room with indirect light keeps it fresh longer. The hat box Heart-shaped in pink, red, or black. Sturdy enough to be kept after the flowers are done — the oasis will need clearing out, but the box itself holds up well for general storage. It arrives presentation-ready. No additional wrapping needed. Occasions The format is specific enough that the occasions aren't ambiguous. Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and romantic gestures are the main use. It also works for a significant birthday where a statement is the right call, or for anyone who'd appreciate flowers that arrive as a complete designed object rather than a bunch in a box. Lifespan Around seven days with daily foam watering and reasonable care. As individual roses go past their best, ease them out of the foam by sliding the stem out rather than pulling — they come out cleanly and removing them keeps the rest looking tidy and the water in the foam cleaner. FAQ Does the arrangement need to stay in the box? Yes. The stems are set into floral foam inside the box and that's what keeps them hydrated. Removing them from the foam ends their water supply and they won't last. How do I water it? Pour a small amount of water directly onto the foam every one to two days. Don't pour it over the flowers. Keep the foam damp but not flooded — if water pools at the bottom of the box, reduce the amount next time. What colour is the hat box? Pink, red, or black depending on availability at the time of packing. Note a preference when ordering. What colour are the roses? They're chosen fresh on the day based on what's in best condition. The colour follows the product images. Note a preference when ordering if you have one. How long will it last? Around seven days with daily watering of the foam and a cool, shaded position. Direct sun and heat shorten this. Can I remove flowers that go off? Yes. Ease the stem out of the foam carefully rather than pulling. The remaining flowers will keep longer once wilted ones are removed. Does it need extra wrapping? No. It arrives ready to give. What occasions is it best for? Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and romantic gestures are the main fit. The heart format makes the intention clear without needing much else around it.
