Cabbage Rose Pink Pearl Artificial Flowers

Pink Cabbage Rose With Densely Ruffled Petals

There is something quietly extravagant about a cabbage rose. The density of the bloom, the way the petals layer in on themselves, the soft dusty pink that reads as lived-in rather than new. Our pink cabbage rose has that same antique quality — a large ruffled head on a tall leafy stem, petals in dusty pink with a peach-pink heart, lit from the centre the way a real English garden rose sits.

Fabulous Flowers has been a trusted Cape Town florist since 1999, and this piece sits within our silk flowers range. It is the kind of rose you place in a ginger jar on a side table and forget about. A week later you notice the room looks considered, and realise it is the rose doing the work.

Silk Cabbage Rose Stem For A Considered Arrangement

One full cabbage rose head, densely ruffled, in the antique pink pearl colourway with a warmer peach-pink centre, on a tall stem with mid-green leaves. Holds its own alone in a clear vase. Layered into an artificial flower bouquet arrangement, it pairs beautifully with a soft pink Olivia rose for two rose shapes in the same colour family, or with soft-pink lisianthus and grey-green eucalyptus for a quieter, tonal composition.

How To Style A Cabbage Rose At Home

One stem is a statement. Place it in a slim clear vase on a mantel or a bedside. For a fuller display, cluster three together in a ginger jar and let the ruffled heads do the work — no other flowers needed. For a richer English-garden composition, pair the cabbage rose with a medium-blue hydrangea and a dusty-pink delphinium spray for height.

Care For Your Silk Cabbage Rose

Dust gently every few weeks with a soft cloth or a hairdryer on the cool setting. Keep out of direct sun to protect the antique pink colour. That is the whole routine.

Why A Silk Cabbage Rose Earns Its Place

A fresh cabbage rose is beautiful and expensive and short-lived. It is a bloom for a weekend, not a sideboard. A quality silk version is the lasting piece — for a hostess gift, a considered housewarming, a guest-room dresser, a desk that deserves a bit of softness. Buy one stem to see the quality. For a statement piece, three in a ginger jar and no other flowers needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this artificial cabbage rose look real?

In our view, yes. The petals are layered densely rather than flat, the colour shifts from antique dusty pink at the outer edges to a warmer peach-pink at the heart the way a real English garden rose does, and the leaves sit on the stem with the proper mid-green veining. Most people have to look closely to tell it is not fresh.

How big is the bloom?

It is a statement-size cabbage head, larger than a standard stem rose and closer in scale to a mature David Austin or English garden rose. Exact diameter TBC — we will update this answer once we have measured the stem.

What is the difference between the cabbage rose and the Olivia rose?

Two different rose shapes in the same soft-pink palette. The cabbage rose is a densely ruffled cabbage-head — tightly layered petals, antique pink pearl with a peach centre, a heavier and more traditional English-garden silhouette. The soft pink Olivia rose is a large, open-bloom rose with broader petals spread wider — a softer, airier statement. Pick the cabbage for an English-garden mood. Pick the Olivia for a fresher, more open look.

How long do artificial flowers last compared to fresh cabbage roses?

Kept indoors and out of direct sunlight, silk cabbage roses hold their colour for years with almost no maintenance. Fresh cabbage roses are exquisite and expensive, and they typically last four to six days in a vase. A silk stem is the lasting version for anyone who wants the look of an English garden rose permanently in a room.

Can I use artificial cabbage roses outdoors?

Indoor or covered-patio use only. Direct sun fades silk flowers over time, and rain will damage the petals. A protected shaded veranda is fine. Full South African sun is not.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you.
