These rosebuds are made of birch wood shavings, which are very durable and last a lifetime; they are handcrafted and put together piece by piece, petal by petal. The leaves are made of fiber; the stem is constructed from a flexible wire and wrapped with a green floral wrapper to complete this beautiful creation.  These flowers look so life like you have to feel them to tell the difference from a real rose. They are very easy to maintain; you simply use a blow dryer whenever you want to clean them.
