About our Sculptures & Arrangements
Are Kanizsa roses real roses?
Yes! Our roses are real roses grown by farmers in the mountains of Ecuador. The Ecuadorian geography, soil and climate allow for some of the world’s best conditions for growing beautiful, healthy and sustainable roses. Of these roses, only those that have the best blooms and strong stems are selected to undergo our proprietary preservation process.
How are Kanizsa roses made to last a year?
A Kanizsa rose is selected from the best of each crop grown by our farming partners. Those roses that meet the grade are selected for their size, shape, beauty and quality of stem. The roses are then infused with a proprietary non-toxic preservation solution that allows us to preserve the fresh, natural look of the rose as well as the condition, integrity and suppleness of the petals, sepal, pistil and stamen. As part of this process, we are also able to infuse the rose with our Kanizsa colors and scent.
So long as the care instructions for your Kanizsa sculpture are followed, the roses will continue to display their beauty, color and feel for up to a year.
Why are there differences in size, shape and color of each rose?
A Kanizsa rose is a real rose that is grown by our farming partners. Because of this, there are natural variations made by mother nature in each individual rose. While we strive to select roses of the same size and shape for each Kanizsa sculpture, there will be a slight natural variation in the size, shape and spread of the petals between any two roses.
How should I care for my Kanizsa sculpture?
Our care instructions for your Kanizsa sculpture are as follows, a copy of which can be found included with each Kanizsa sculpture.
To keep your Kanizsa sculpture looking its best:
1. Avoid extreme temperatures
2. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight
3. Avoid placing it in a moist and humid environment
4. Avoid handling the flowers directly
5. Do not water the Kanizsa sculpture
6. Do not place the Kanizsa sculpture where the flowers are directly touching any fabrics or textiles
7. Do not aggressively handle the Kanizsa sculpture
8. Gently dust the Kanizsa sculpture as needed
How is my Kanizsa sculpture or arrangement made?
Each Kanizsa sculpture is hand created by a Kanizsa Floral Artist, who is trained to compose the sculpture using the Kanizsa method. A Kanizsa Floral Artist requires an eye for creative details, soft but steady hands and patience for selecting and placing the correct roses for each sculpture. The process is a labor of love for art and flowers, and each Kanizsa sculpture should be appreciated as such.
How long will my Kanizsa sculpture last?
So long as the care instructions are followed, your Kanizsa sculpture will maintain its beauty for up to a year. Depending on the ambient temperature, humidity and lighting, your Kanizsa sculpture may maintain its beauty even longer.
Can I order my Kanizsa sculpture with or without a scent?
Yes, you can customize your Kanizsa sculpture during the checkout process to be designed with or without scent. Please note that if you choose the scent-free option (best for individuals with sensitivities to flower oils or pollen), the roses are not completely "scent-free" and will retain their slight, naturally grown scent even after the preservation process. However, our scent-free roses are a wonderful option for those with allergies or sensitivities, as they are less likely to cause any allergic reactions.
Should you choose the scented option for your arrangement or sculptures, you will enjoy the roses' natural scent, which is uniquely enhanced during the preservation process.
